What is stone print technology?
Stone Print Technology is an innovative technology that brings new methods and effectiveness to the stone ornamental. At the beginning of the 1990s, China was in the initial stage of the stone print technique. With the rapid development of the Domestic economy, the demand for high-end stone increased sharply in the stone market, this promoted a wide application of stone print technology. In continuous development, this technology is combined with digital and intelligent technologies that create excellent stone products, which bring more surprise and innovation to architectural decoration, home decoration, and enterprise cultural construction fields.
Technological process of stone print
Take our marble mosaic printing as an example.
1. Material preparation.
All marble surfaces need to be polished and cleaned to ensure that the surface is flat and clean, paving the way for subsequent printing.
2. Pattern design.
According to market demand and popular trends, designers will create a variety of creative printing patterns. These patterns need to be processed by color correction, color separation, etc. to ensure the ideal final printing effect.
3. Digital printing
Import the designed digital image into a dedicated large-format digital inkjet printer and print the pattern directly on the surface of the marble slab. This digital printing process can quickly and efficiently achieve pattern replication and transfer.
4. Curing treatment.
After printing, the marble tiles need to be cured. Depending on the ink used, thermal curing, UV curing, etc. can be used to make the ink firmly adhere to the surface of the substrate.
5. Surface coating.
In order to enhance the wear resistance and weather resistance of marble printing products, a layer of transparent protective coating is usually applied to the printed surface. This coating is usually made of epoxy resin or polyurethane materials.
6. Slitting and packaging
Finally, the printed marble tiles are slit, trimmed, into different shapes as order required, then paste on the back net to make a whole marble mosaic tile. Then pack the tiles into boxes. After completing these processes, the printing marble mosaic products are manufactured and can be put on the market for sale.
Applications of stone print technology
1. Architectural Decoration
Stone print technology can print all kinds of patterns and words on marble, granite, slates, etc., and is mainly used on building facade decoration, entrances, signs, and other aspects in order to create architectural effectiveness in different styles and atmospheres.
2. Home Improvement
