PrinTikar Introduction
- The production line utilizes jet printing technology, making it more flexible in creating more complex and beautiful patterns.
- Compared to traditional distributing process, the jet printing process is more flexible, allowing for the creation of more complex and delicate patterns in a shorter time, effectively adding value of quartz slabs. The productivity increase by 6-10 times.
- Combining the original full-body veining effect with the jet printing colors to make the slabs more three-dimensional and natural, thereby increasing the value of the slabs.

Pre-treatment
Enhance the ink adhesion on the slabs, effectively improving the printing quality.
Jet printing
- Jet printing technology, making it more flexible in creating more complex and beautiful patterns.
- Using self-developed ink to improve the final quality.
- High efficiency: 3 min/slab
Hardening (cyclic oven)
- The ink hardening cyclic oven achieves gradient temperature changes in the slabs through heating and circulation movement, which makes the curing temperature of the slabs more uniform, increases the efficiency of hardening.
- By adjusting the temperature gradient, the ink penetration effect can be optimized.
- The vertical cyclic oven structure can significantly save factory space.
Hardening (kiln)
- The energy is mainly provided by heating and the residual heat from kiln.
- The heat sources are distributed and supplied from different parts of the dryer, and the amount of incoming hot air is regulated by the damper of the air intake duct, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the temperature inside the dryer.
- Stable heating ensures better penetration and adhesion of the ink and the slab, enhancing the color fastness.
