TRUCOLOR EF 438 Texture Matt

Matte-effect printing ink for tile decoration using digital printing technology. At the same time, this ink exhibits water-repellent properties when used with water-based glaze systems.
The glazes applied after the digital printing process create a detailed relief thanks to the ink’s water-repellent effect. The matte properties of this ink also allow additional effects to be achieved when combined with glossy glazes.

In addition to the wide color spectrum achievable with standard Trucolor inks, TRUCOLOR EF 438 TEXTURE MATT makes it possible to obtain further effects related to the design used.
