Durst’s participation in the next edition of the Tecnargilla fair (Rimini Fiera, 26th – 30th September 2016) has been eagerly awaited. The trade fair in Rimini offers the South Tirolean company a platform for the premiere of the world’s first printer prototype for digital glazing.  The research & development department of the Bressanone-based company has been working on this latest generation of technology for some time; work which has laid the foundations for the concept behind their new Full Digital Glaze Line.

The new technology, which was already the topic of much conversation at the last Tecnargilla fair, will revolutionize the production of ceramics, as it combines printing with finishing and synchronizes decoration with glazing.

Here, Durst has realized a technology which the ceramics market has been eagerly anticipating for years and which offers a never-before-seen level of efficiency and creativity: the final product can be created on demand from a computer, without the need for additional steps in the production process.

The new printer has been combined with the latest version of their Gamma XD line and as such offers a truly comprehensive solution for digital glazing. Durst’s flagship model for ceramic decoration, equipped with DM technology, is the only system that can truly make the most of the opportunities offered by digital decoration, in particular when it comes to using special effects tints.  A great number of examples of the technology’s application will be on display at the trade fair. Industry professionals and printing houses will be able to experience first-hand the unlimited possibilities that the Full Digital Glaze line offers.

At the Durst stand, the spotlights will also be on the Rho Vetrocer, the innovative, digital glass decoration printer that Durst is presenting to the ceramics market for the first time.  Thanks to the use of inorganic ceramic tints, the printer is capable of printing directly onto tiles that have already been kiln-fired.  A system that is perfectly suited to personalizing and realizing small and medium-sized print runs.
