Ceramic ink technology has revolutionized the printing industry since the early 2000s, providing unique solutions for ceramic tile printing. Initially developed by USA Ferro and Karajet, the technology gained traction in Europe and entered the Chinese market by 2009. Ceramic inks contain special inorganic pigments that fuse with ceramic materials during the firing process, ensuring vibrant colors and durability. Key manufacturers include Ferro, Torrecid, and Chinese brands like Flora and Hope. Discover the processes, advantages, and recent developments in ceramic ink technology.
