# High Temperature

## Open the door to luxury. Quality, precious colours and custom-made workmanship finally affordable.

#### Customise

 High-temperature digital printing rises to new horizons. Customisation invades the boundaries of the traditional 'third firing' process.

#### Tailor-made luxury

 The Cefla Finishing high-temperature process combines the high definition of the image with the expressive power of colours. It allows the end-user to experience a previously inaccessible luxury: that of custom-made.

## Advantages

### Expressiveness of colour

 A sparkle is reflected in the eyes. It is colour, brilliant and precious.

We have optimised a traditional process to achieve excellent colour rendering. High-temperature digital printing makes use of 8 brilliant vitrifiable colours. To these are added three precious inks: gold, platinum and lustro. The surface finish is glossy and enhances the brightness of the pigments.

### Great flexibility

 Customised processing - just-in-time - on-demand

With the high-temperature process, you can meet an increasingly diverse and changing demand. Combine the need for customisation with the handling of all batch types. Always achieve a consistent product of the highest quality, whether it is a single custom-made process or mass production.

### Few steps, maximum output

 Performance that exceeds your expectations.

There are many factors that make the high-temperature digital printing process extremely productive. Digital printing solutions are engineered to ensure consistent and efficient operation, thanks to proprietary software and patented technologies. Furthermore, industrial high-temperature printing does not require the application of primers.

## Applications

### Not just interior design

 Gives personality to environments of all kinds.

The applications of this process are as endless as the ideas that human minds can conceive.

Use high-temperature digital printing to decorate any vertical ceramic surface, for exteriors and interiors. Sizes range from mosaics to large slabs.

## Process steps

Only two process steps

### The high-temperature digital printing process uses vitrifiable inks. Two process steps are required to obtain the finished product. Cefla Finishing provides solutions for digital printing with multi-pass machines. This first step can make use of different technologies and solutions, depending on requirements.
