Durst PICTOCER HD BROCHURE

Pictocer HD

Ceramic Lab Printer

Durst Pictocer HD is a compact digital ceramic inkjet printer which uses pigmented ceramic inks for firing

temperatures up to 1250°C and therefore the ideal printer for different small run printing applications, such as:

• Developing new ceramic tile designs at design bureaus and ink manufactures

• In-house developing and testing new designs/products at ceramic tile manufacturing companies with
High-Performance Digital Printers (such as Durst Gamma) in operation at their main stream factories.

• Third re applications (ceramics and glass decoration)

• Printing small runs and custom products, photoceramics, etc.

Digital ceramic inkjet print

Durst Pictocer HD uses exactly the same pigmented ceramic inks as used with Durst Gamma,

the new standard for the digital decoration of ceramic tiles and used by all the leading ceramic

tile manufactures in the world.

By using the same inks Durst Pictocer HD can simulate the final ceramic tile, such as floor

and wall and tiles (porcelain, single and double re) as well as decorative listellos produced
afterwards with Durst Gamma and anticipate the production costs.
The unique continuous tile transport system allows to decorate different type of ceramic
products and tiles from very small decorative trim pieces (listellos/photoceramics, etc.)
without any size limitations and up to a max. thickness of 50mm.
To assure a reliable, long-term operation the Durst Pictocer HD features a permanent ink
recirculation in the ink circuits and print heads with automatic maintenance cycles, proven
in more than 100 Durst Gamma printers in operation.
