International course: Ceramic inkjet printing technology

• Those who register at QUALICER congress will have a special discount on the course fee
• The course, given in English, is aimed at technicians from the international ceramic sector (frit, glaze, and pigment producers, ceramic tile manufacturers, machinery builders)
• It will take place on the weekend before QUALICER 2012, which also includes a monographic session about inkjet technology

Recent years have witnessed a technological revolution in the decoration of ceramic tiles as a result of the introduction of inkjet technology. The technique’s initial constraints have been progressively overcome and it currently provides numerous advantages in the manufacture of both small and very large lots.

The use of this technology is the core topic of an international course organized by the Spanish Instituto de Tecnología Cerámica (ITC) aimed at technicians from the international ceramic sector (frit, glaze, and pigment producers, ceramic tile manufacturers, machinery builders).

The course will examine each stage of the work flow involved in producing decorated ceramic tiles with this new digital technology, from the initial design proposal to the obtainment of the final printed tile. The course will also cover the fundamental operating features of the printheads, the influence of the inks in obtaining appropriate registers, and the main characteristics of the existing machines.

QUALICER and the Spanish Instituto de Tecnología Cerámica (ITC) offer a discount of 60 euros on the price of the course fee to those who register at QUALICER 2012.

• ITC Members, Preferred Clients and registered at QUALICER 2012 : 240 € / student
• Other attendees: 300 € / student
