COLOUR INTENSITY WITH THE FOUR-COLOUR PROCESS

In recent months, the renowned ceramic glaze and colour producer Sicer has developed a brand new range of inks at its Digital R&D Lab with the aim of offering tile manufacturers the choice of different combinations for achieving perfect four-colour printing. The new Custom SCD2000 range consists of a series of different inks that allow users to choose the most suitable four-colour combination for their needs. For years now, Sicer has been offering tile producers the potential to achieve excellent results and a unique gamut extension using a six-colour process, in other words through the addition of the special inks Vibrant Red SCD088 and Brilliant Yellow SCD018. The aim of the Custom SCD2000 series is to ensure much better results with the four-colour process without the need to use two additional colour bars. The Custom SCD2000 series consists of a new black ink, SCD2071, which is also highly effective at creating absolute black surfaces, a new cyan SCD2062, three different honey/yellow inks and two red brown/orange inks. This new series results in a much wider colour gamut than the traditional four-colour process, particularly in the areas where the standard gamut can sometimes prove inadequate, namely orange, red, yellow and green.
