Hi, not sure if I’ve posted this in correct section but I’m looking for a printer that will print patterns onto clay tiles and be durable? Is there such a printer?
Thanks

There are many posts about this topic..Here’s one.

You can use the Topic search box to find more.

You only have to figure out what size machine will suit you needs in terms of what size tile..How many tiles on the worked at any one time.

Your budget will dictate the build quality and size of the machine and the level of detail and power is determined by the laser module you choose.

You need to look at the new UV color printers.

Ok thanks, where’s the best place to look for them I literally know nothing about printers?

I often etch tiles of various compositions with a 10W diode. Creates shallow (1/32”) etchings easily that I then fill with various enamel colors. I have tried filling with ceramic glazes but can’t get the heat needed to fuse that in.

This is Chuck’s topic on UV print combined with his lasering.

Have a look to see if it’s the type thing your interested in…or explain other.

I know there’s a desktop UV printer by ‘Eufymake’ that looks pretty cool and it’s about 2.5 grand..ish.

I’m experimenting with inks and paint on slate..same like tile, but different!!
