DECORA digital printers for ceramics

Single-pass machines for digital decoration and the application of effects on ceramic tiles

TecnoFerrari Decora digital printers for ceramics are single-pass machines designed for the digital decoration of tiles and for applying effects to the product surface.

The system operates along the glazing line during the decoration stage and can be installed at different points of the line depending on the intended use and required application.

Decora printers make it possible to manage graphics, decorations, and effects with high production flexibility, reducing graphic changeover times compared with analog systems and improving line continuity.

The machines integrate with conveyor lines and glazing lines, ensuring print stability, production reliability, and operational continuity even in high-output industrial environments.

Digital system for ceramic decoration with high production stability

Decora digital printers are designed to deliver high performance in terms of speed, discharge rates, and print stability, while maintaining high reliability during continuous operation.

Compared with analog systems, digital printing enables very fast graphic changeovers without replacing equipment on the line. This feature expands the range of products that can be manufactured and improves the overall yield of the system.

Once the operating parameters have been set, the machine maintains stable operating conditions over time, reducing the need for manual adjustments and contributing to the consistency of the finished product.

Automatic maintenance functions reduce the need for direct operator intervention and support line production continuity, even over 24/7 work cycles.
