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
The Durst Gamma features large main ink
supply tanks with a user-friendly ink refill
system.
Tile Transport System
On the Gamma the tiles are transported
on conveyor belt. The transport system is
designed for easy integration of the Gamma
into an existing production line. It features
continuous speed adjustment and quick stop
and start functions. On the printer entrance
a precise autocentering tile guiding system
assures perfect image/tile registration.
