Colors that define your creation
Digital ceramic inks developed to offer stability, graphic precision, and consistent production performance.
High-precision inks for unique creations
At Kerafrit, we develop and manufacture ceramic inkjet inks formulated to deliver physicochemical stability, graphic definition, and reliable performance during industrial digital printing. Our solutions are designed to integrate with the leading systems and printheads used in ceramic decoration.
As a manufacturer and supplier of ceramic inks, we work closely with each client to tailor the solution to the specific conditions of their production line—including the printing system, ceramic substrate, glaze, application parameters, and firing cycle. This approach enables us to meet both the aesthetic requirements of the design and the technical and production needs of the manufacturing facility.
Formulated to guarantee consistent machine performance, reducing downtime and ensuring continuous production.
Optimized size and dispersion to protect printheads and maintain consistent and accurate printing.
They allow the reproduction of fine details, gradients, and complex patterns with high color fidelity.
Viscosity and surface tension adjusted to ensure stable and repeatable droplet ejection.
Our range of ceramic inkjet inks enables the development of color compositions tailored to different designs, substrates, and firing conditions.

Ceramic inkjet inks are suspensions of finely dispersed inorganic pigments in a liquid vehicle, formulated for application via digital printing systems. Following printing and firing, they enable the development of the intended color, graphic design, or effect on the ceramic surface.
They are used to decorate tiles and other ceramic surfaces via inkjet printing. They enable the reproduction of designs, details, gradients, visual textures, and digital effects with precision and repeatability within industrial processes.
Yes. Our inks are designed to be compatible with all major inkjet systems and technologies, and can be adjusted to the specific conditions of each line to ensure optimal performance.
They offer high physicochemical stability and keep parameters such as viscosity, surface tension, and particle distribution under control. This ensures consistent and reliable printing over extended production periods.
We offer a color range comprising yellow, ochre, pink, beige, black, green, brown, and blue inks. We also develop digital effect solutions, such as reactive, white, matte, gloss, adhesive, and camber products.
Yes. We can adapt or develop inks based on each client's specific requirements regarding color, substrate, glaze, printing system, printhead, and firing cycle. The goal is to achieve a solution compatible with actual manufacturing conditions.
The selection process must take into account the printing system, printhead type, required ink output, substrate, glazes used, firing temperature, and the desired graphic or surface finish. Kerafrit’s technical team analyzes these variables to recommend the most suitable solution.
During manufacturing, parameters such as particle size and distribution, viscosity, surface tension, stability, and printing performance are monitored. Batches undergo checks and tests to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
A ceramic ink supplier must guarantee batch-to-batch consistency, compatibility with the printing system, rheological control, physicochemical stability, and technical support. They must also be able to adapt their solutions to the specific conditions of each factory.
Yes. Our technical team assists the client with the selection, validation, and adjustment of inks, taking into account printing parameters, the substrate, the glaze, and the firing cycle. We also work on potential optimizations when production conditions change.
Maximum chromatic definition and performance in digital decoration.
Ceramic inkjet inks are pigment-based formulations developed for decorating ceramic surfaces using digital printing systems. Their performance depends on variables such as particle size distribution, viscosity, surface tension, suspension stability, and interactions with the printhead, substrate, glaze, and firing cycle. A ceramic ink must perform consistently during printing and yield the intended color or surface finish after firing.
Therefore, evaluating color alone is insufficient; it is also necessary to analyze the ink's stability, compatibility with the production line, and integration with the overall ceramic system. Kerafrit manufactures and supplies digital ceramic inks, offering a portfolio that includes standard colors, special effects, and custom-developed products.
Our team combines formulation expertise, quality control, process knowledge, and technical support to tailor each solution to the client's specific production and creative needs.
