Advanced Printing on Ceramic Packaging

Are you currently manufacturing industrial tiles? Printing on ceramic packaging requires extreme precision daily. Factory workers sort ceramic tiles constantly during active production. They must determine the exact size, grade, and aesthetic category quickly. Afterward, the finished product goes directly to the final packaging station.

Many standard inkjet printers deliver basic factory requirements safely. However, the MapleJet ProDigit provides truly comprehensive factory solutions. It handles simple production dates and standard batch numbers easily. Furthermore, it excels at encoding highly critical dynamic data. This ensures you are printing on ceramic packaging perfectly every single time.

Smart BCD Interface Integration

How do we achieve this perfect daily accuracy? MapleJet designed a complete solution using a smart BCD Interface Module. This module serves as a highly reliable translator unit continuously. It sits perfectly between the Control Center and the ProDigit Printer. Consequently, it automatically selects the related message from the packaging station.

Interestingly, the BCD sends a specific “Auto Pilot” command efficiently. It sends this to the PD controller through the RS232 protocol. Once the printer receives this via a STROBE signal, the magic happens. The powerful “Auto Pilot” ability activates immediately from the main controller.

Developing Custom Sky Blue Ink

Recently, a massive pipe manufacturing company requested a unique sky blue ink. MapleJet collaborated closely with expert ink partners to find a solution. Developing new inks for specific environments is an extremely challenging task. Therefore, achieving the desired result takes significant time and rigorous trials.

Engineers heavily test the new ink for proper substrate adhesion. Also, they carefully measure the exact required drying time. With this recent success, MapleJet aims to tackle more custom projects. We actively want to cater to specific customer ink requirements globally.

Fine-Tuning Your Print Module

We strongly recommend fine-tuning your print module regularly. This allows operators to place the module incredibly close to products. When you achieve this ideal distance, massive benefits occur. You effortlessly maintain superior print quality across the entire production material.

Sometimes, the print module experiences an annoying nozzle clog. Alternatively, you might notice poor print quality on the substrate suddenly. In these specific cases, immediate fine-tuning is absolutely necessary. Please review our visual instruction guide on fine-tuning the square-type module online.
