Nano sized ceramic inks

Nano-sized ceramic inks have been synthesized to optimize their chemical and physical properties. Particle size, phase composition, suspension stability, viscosity and surface tension of the nano-inks have been tailored to obtain suspensions suitable for drop-on-demand ink-jet printers. In addition, the color strength was optimized according to four-color process requirements. Penetration tests demonstrated that pigment nanoparticles and substrate porosity influence the inks' penetration.


Following with the issue of ceramic inks we would like to share with all of you some developments that our company has got in laboratory last months.
Our company has been working on NANO-SIZED pigments during long time in order to get the possibility of increasing the possibilities of ceramic inks inside modern ceramic industry.

Nano-sized ceramic inks have been synthesized to optimize their chemical and physical properties.
Particle size, phase composition, suspension stability, viscosity and surface tension of the nano-inks have been tailored to obtain suspensions suitable for drop-on-demand ink-jet printers. In addition, the color strength was optimized according to four-color process requirements. Penetration tests demonstrated that pigment nanoparticles and substrate porosity influence the inks' penetration.
Some application tests on a laboratory ink-jet printer showed that the inks effectively color most types of ceramic tile substrates, ensuring good reproducibility and high color saturation. The industrial scale-up is in progress, and these ceramic nano-inks will be available for purchase soon.

And when we say soon, we say that this kind of NEW NANO-SIZED PIGMENT are ready to be used in production right now. The future of ceramics is just arriving and Olucha Colors is 100% ready for that, you can contact us for any further information.

Ceramic Ink Technology for ceramics

This is the kind of Digital Printing machinery that nowadays is being offered in China. Business of digital machinery and digital inks is becoming more and more general day by day. Initially there was just one company offering machinery for this technology (Kerajet, Spain), now there are hundreds of them in China. Initially there were just few Spanish companies offering inks for this technology, now we know many chinese companies are working on it and really soon they will be getting ready raw materials for this technology. Democracy is arriving to ceramic digital technology and soon we'll see how is the market changing due to this technology.

As follows we can see several designs produced by digital technology and we can appreciate how easy could be the life for ceramics with this new technology.

Spanish Designs for Ceramic Tiles

Following with the evolution of Olucha Colors insde ceramic industry, we can show today how our company is inventing itself everyday.
Once we arrived to Indian market we decided to focuse our efforts selling ceramic pigments to ceramic tiles producers, but Indian market is under continuous evolution, so our company nowadays have decided to focuse on designs for ceramic tiles. We offer to our customers all types of designs for the production of ceramic tiles, offering a wide range of marbles, stones, woods, decoration... and many more!!!
A wide team of designers is working with our company at this moment in order to offer the best designs for ceramic tiles industry and make your company different to the others.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you want more information about our products and designs, you can contact us everytime by email, isidro@coloresolucha.com

We wait for all your requests!!!

Digital Inks

Ceramic industry is changing everyday and last months we're facing a strong change on this industry worldwide. Tiles producers have decided to move their production to digital technology. This new technology is making live easier to producers of tiles, less problems for modifying models and designs, easier way to get a wide catalogue... It seems that everything is better now...
But what about raw materials? It's not so easy to get digital inks for production, there are few producers worldwide and prices are still high... Is this technology so interesting as raw materials companies are showing to us? How to get the right ink at the right price?
