The CMYK Printing Process

The Durst non-impact CMYK inkjet printing technology uses droplets of ink jetted from the small apertures (nozzles) to a specified position on the tile to create an image.

During printing the four colors—cyan, magenta, yellow and black, abbreviated as CMYK—are automatically combined in various ways to create virtually any color required in one step.

Same glazes as for conventional printing The specially formulated pigmented ceramic inkjet inks for the Gamma

work with the same glazes used with conventional screen printing equipments and do not require special glazes to create the color, such as other digital systems, in addition they are not influenced by the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) of the production process.

Ink Supply
