TIGITAL Tattoo®
Industrial Printing Revolution
Industrial decoration using TIGITAL® Tattoo created based on proven TIGER powder coating technology.
Analog goes digital: TIGER Drylac® + DIGITAL = TIGITAL® Tattoo
A unique combination of two technologies
TIGER TIGITAL® Tattoo brings together the best of both worlds: the properties of our powder coatings and digital printing. Our TIGITAL® Tattoo was developed for high-quality decorations – specialized in small-batch series – and serialized or individualized product labels. A broad range of colors can be achieved with the four-color set CMYK + white + clear, which allows for digital flexibility at a low investment cost.
E = (HD)²
Ecology (reduction CO²) = High Definition & High Durability
TIGITAL® Tattoo has the same environmental characteristics as Quali Glass Coat 2.0 (QGC 2.0). It´s applicable to all types of substrates (base Glass, lacquered and QGC 2.0).
It can be applied to all types of shapes, especially cylindrical shapes. Like Quali Glass Coat 2.0, the mechanical resistance and the printing quality goes to a new level of detail and fineness obtaining an aspect never before achieved.
Key points
- -85%CO² compared to conventional screen printing
- Solvent free
- Unbeatable Small/Middle batch production
Crisp definition – ultra-fine details – top durability
TIGITAL® Tattoo can be used to create beautifully crisp, clear lettering and logos and photo-realistic images. The cross-linking (baking) process is carried out after the powder has been transferred and creates a permanent bond between the digital powder and the material, making it resistant to both mechanical and chemical influences.
One system – various materials – many possibilities
Glass, aluminum, MDF, metal, powder-coated surfaces and heat-resistant plastics: TIGITAL® Tattoo can be transferred to a wide range of materials. This means that durable and hard-wearing decorations can be applied to bottles, fasteners, window handles, furniture fittings, safes, furniture panels, machine components and many more.
TIGITAL® Tattoo: Print comes to part
Low investment costs – minimal training
TIGITAL® Tattoo is printed electrophotographically; printing services are provided by TIGER Coatings. This saves you from having to invest in an expensive printing press and minimizes employee-training costs.
We print, you apply the Tattoo!
Requirements
In order to be able to use TIGITAL® Tattoo, you will need high-resolution printing data, a transfer press, and an oven or infrared cure lamp for cross-linking. The objects you wish to decorate must be able to withstand temperatures of 140°C.
