Optional EFI Cretaprint P4 DTP: 2 formats, 2 designs, 1 printer Double Tile Printing is a printing solution for the ceramics sector that allows simultaneous printing of two tiles of different formats and with different designs. Cretavision It allows associating each one of the designs of a model to different reliefs of a set of tiles. We can, therefore, perfectly fit-in a certain design with the tile s relief, regardless of the order in which the tiles enter the system. Table in/out With the IN and OUT accessory tables, long tiles are set flat and aligned before printing for an optimal print quality, reducing the risk of defects due to transition from the production line in and out of the printer maximising printing accuracy. This is recommended for tiles exceeding two times the default entry and exit space on the printer belt. Fiery proserver EFI Fiery proserver for Cretaprint is the first complete colour management system for ceramic tile decoration (printing). Used with the Cretaprint digital ceramic printers, the proserver produces the most accurate and consistent color quality for ceramic tile decoration and lowers your ink consumption, regardless of the production conditions. Upgrades To give our printers maximum flexibility, at any time you can make upgrades in both existing bars and adding new bars to: Change printing widths. Add new colours to the printing bars. Increase the drop volume for applying special effects.
