Production codes, batch numbers and grading marks on tile, sanitaryware, tableware and technical ceramics.
Ceramic Manufacturing
Piezo marking on hard, non-porous ceramic surfaces
Tile, sanitaryware and ceramic tableware manufacturers need production codes, batch numbers and grading marks on hard, non-porous, often glazed surfaces — typically late in the line, after firing, where codes need to be applied quickly without damaging the finish.
RNJet piezo printers mark directly on hard ceramic surfaces from up to 15 mm away, while RNJet thermal inkjet printers code the cartons and cases finished pieces ship in — without the daily cleaning and makeup fluid continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers require.

Ceramic Coding & Marking FAQ
Tile and flooring, sanitaryware, ceramic tableware, technical and industrial ceramics, and the cartons and pallets finished pieces ship on.
Yes. RNJet piezo printers mark directly on hard, non-porous ceramic surfaces, with ink formulations matched to glazed and unglazed finishes.
RNJet piezo printers mark without touching the surface, from up to 15 mm away, which avoids the contact pressure that could mark or scratch a finished glaze.
RNJet thermal inkjet and piezo printers avoid the daily cleaning, makeup fluid and nozzle maintenance that CIJ printers require, while printing comparable or higher-resolution codes.
Yes. RNJet printers mount directly on new or existing lines and trigger from a photo-eye or PLC signal without slowing production.
