Moreover, it has avoided the quality puzzle caused by the difficulty of the traditional printer ink and water balance controls, reduces chemistry pollution, films and plates waste. It lets the unorganized and dirty printing factory promote into the advanced and automated engine room. Digital printing allow click and drag the files from front-end workstation directly to devices output, shorten delivery time, and added the personalize function, the Inkjet technology is most important and popular in all kinds of digital printing. In addition, the coordination of ultraviolet ray (UV) curing technology and the UV ink have evaluated a brand-new printing system which can substitutes for conventional offset, flex, grave, and screen printing. The no-contact reproduction technology by UV inkjet have momentous improved and helps on different choices of material, sizes, thickness and the development costs. It benefit on photoelectric industry particularly, using the UV inkjet on building material, glass, tiles, acrylic, metal, etc.. How to achieve the ideal of reproduction quality regarding the new workflow and the new equipment? This research used inkjet on ceramic tile of building materials to inquire into its Print Attributes, using UV inkjet equipment with two kinds of different printing pass and 3 kinds of ink coverage (ink quantity) to print on the different pre-processing ceramic tiles, refers to the ISO12647-2 standard. Use instruments to exam and analysis each survey project. Research suggested that uses UV inkjet on ceramic tiles and spreads with 120% ink coverage primer, the result are clear resolution, best of gray balance, printing contrast, and color difference presents. For the decoration purpose ceramic tile, research suggest not to polish with coating because studies discovered that after Cross Hatch Cutter examines the coated ceramic tile surface has the protector which bears blows. However, it is disadvantageous on adheres to stick cohere to the UV ink because the printing ink can strip together from ceramic tile surface once the photosphere is destroyed. One hour later at heat-resisting 120℃ condition, adds primer and adds the white ink 150% ink coverage samples have the fissures, moreover color started to produce chromatic error after 16 hrs. testing of under UV light 0.86W/㎡@340nm.In conclusion, ceramic tiles are unable to pass the water resistant test directly, and it must spread primer first to pass the basic physical property test.
