Summary
Digital printing has transformed the ceramic industry, opening the door to highly sophisticated, versatile, and customizable designs. At the core of this shift are ceramic digital printers—advanced machines that use inkjet technology to precisely apply both functional and decorative materials. While the focus is often on inks and printing performance, there’s another category of fluids working quietly behind the scenes: maintenance fluids. Though they don't directly impact the final aesthetic result, they play a vital role in keeping printers running smoothly and extending their lifespan. In this episode, we explore three key types of maintenance fluids: cleaners, stand-by fluids, and model fluids—each essential for ensuring reliable and consistent digital printing performance.
