When you want a little more … If you were to look around now, you would find many objects that have been printed with inkjet technology. For years, the Ceramic Industry has used digital printing to decorate tiles using pigmented ceramic ink. Other industrial sectors such as textiles, packaging, glass, functional electronics, amongst others, are also using the technology more and more. The process of manufacturing digital inks is not just about ultrafine grinding of suspended particles to sub-micron or nanometer range. It has many more complex processes, such as wetting out, solid / wet...

CERAMIC INKJET There is no question that ceramic inkjet printing processes revolutionized the manufacturing of decorated tiles. Since the very beginning, NETZSCH has been pivotal in the development of ceramic inkjet technology. The first batch of pigmented ceramic inkjet was produced in December 2005 using a NETZSCH LabStar laboratory mill. Since then, we have been at the forefront of this technology and the first point of contact. The System Zeta®, with an 80 % market share, is the renowned milling system in the industry for the wet grinding of ceramic inkjet inks. NETZSCH is known...
