The ink-jet decoration – that has replaced traditional decoration systems – has removed several problems bringing out, however, new and more complex critical issues.<\/p>

The new scenario has forced a different attention to all those applications that occur along the glazing line both before and after the digital printing process.<\/p>

In particular, the different nature of the solvent-based inks, with respect to all the water-based applications of the glazing line (engobes, glazes, grits, etc.), often leads to repellency phenomena that can compromise the proper printing process.<\/p>

In addition, the glaze applied as a final protection (on the ink), when not accurately mixed with proper chemicals, may lead to excessive or low drainage, or even to phenomena of uneven ink\u2019s absorption.<\/p>
