Product Description

Ceramic Printer D740-10 — 10-colour digital ceramic printing machine with SEIKO RC1536 printheads, 360 DPI, 37 kHz firing, 740×1200mm print area. Best ceramic printer for tile printing, custom décor tiles, print on demand ceramic production and small printing businesses.

Ceramic Printer D740-10 | Digital Ceramic Printing Machine & Wide Format Printer

If you run a tile factory, a décor production line, or a small printing business looking to move into specialty substrates, the Ceramic Printer D740-10 is built to replace screen-based workflows with true digital ceramic printing. This 10-colour ceramic printing machine uses industrial SEIKO RC1536 printheads with recirculating ink channels to lay down rich, consistent colour on every tile that passes through — no screens to make, no setup waste, no minimum order size. As a piece of dedicated digital printing equipment, it gives factories and print on demand ceramic studios the ability to print custom designs, short sample runs, and full production batches from the same machine.

The D740-10 offers a 740mm × 1200mm printing area with a 360 DPI native resolution, an adjustable drop size of 14~98pl (expandable to 13~133pl for heavier glaze-effect and cover inks), and a 37 kHz firing frequency that keeps production moving at industrial speed. It works as a wide format printer and large format printer specifically designed for ceramic substrates — not a modified sign printer forced onto tiles. For businesses that already run flex printing, flex printing machines, or a printer for vinyl signage line, the D740-10 is a logical expansion into high-margin ceramic decoration without abandoning your existing workflow. Available in two widths — D740-10 (740mm) and D1170-10 (1170mm) — this ceramic printer scales from mid-format tile work to full large-format ceramic panel production.

Key Advantages of Ceramic Printer D740-10

✔ SEIKO RC1536 Recirculation Printheads

Industrial SEIKO RC1536 heads are built for ceramic inks — their recirculation design keeps heavy pigments from settling, which means fewer clogs and more reliable ceramic printing across long production shifts.

✔ 10-Colour Channel System

Up to 10 ink channels let you run extended colour gamuts, special-effect inks, and glaze-cover inks simultaneously. For a ceramic printing machine, that means richer designs without swapping cartridges between jobs.

✔ Wide & Large Format Ceramic Output

The D740-10 prints up to 740×1200mm, and the D1170-10 extends to 1170×1800mm. As a wide format printer and large format printer for ceramics, both models handle everything from standard wall tiles to large decorative panels.

✔ Adjustable Drop Size (14~133pl)

Drop size adjusts from 14~98pl up to 13~133pl, giving operators fine control over detail, smooth gradients, and heavy ink coverage for glaze effects. This flexibility is what separates a real ceramic printer from a general-purpose machine.

✔ 37 kHz High-Speed Firing

A 37 kHz firing frequency with 360 DPI native resolution keeps ceramic printing fast enough for continuous production lines without sacrificing image quality on every tile.

✔ Print-on-Demand — No Screens Needed

Digital workflow means custom tiles, short sample runs, and print on demand designs without making screens. For a small printing business or décor studio, this removes the biggest barrier to entry in ceramic decoration.

Ceramic Printer D740-10 FAQ

The ceramic printer D740-10 is a digital ceramic printing machine used for inkjet decoration of ceramic tiles and decorative surfaces. It prints wall tiles, floor tiles, custom motifs, marble and wood effects, and large ceramic panels. As a piece of industrial digital printing equipment, it replaces traditional screen printing with a digital workflow that supports print on demand custom tiles, short sample runs, and full-volume factory production — all from the same ceramic printing machine.

The only difference is width and physical size. The D740-10 has a 740×1200mm printing area with a 745mm belt and weighs 2,200 kg. The D1170-10 has a 1170×1800mm printing area with a 1180mm belt and weighs 2,400 kg. Both models share the same SEIKO RC1536 printheads, 10 ink channels, 360 DPI resolution, 37 kHz firing frequency, adjustable drop size, and the same 380V power and compressed air requirements. If you mostly print standard wall and floor tiles, the D740-10 ceramic printer is sufficient. If you need to print large-format ceramic panels or wider tiles in a single pass, the D1170-10 is the wider large format printer option within the same ceramic printing machine platform.

Yes, and this is exactly where digital ceramic printing creates new opportunities. Traditional ceramic decoration requires screen making — which only makes sense for runs of thousands of tiles. A ceramic printer like the D740-10 removes that barrier entirely. You can print one custom tile, ten sample tiles for a client, or a hundred personalised tiles — without screens, without setup waste, and without committing to large inventory. For a small printing business that already does flex printing, signage, or printer for vinyl work, adding a ceramic printing machine opens up a completely different revenue stream: interior designers, architects, home renovation contractors, and hospitality businesses who want custom tiles but cannot meet screen-printing minimums. The D740-10 as a wide format printer for ceramics is the entry point that makes this viable for smaller operations.

The D740-10 is industrial digital printing equipment and requires industrial infrastructure: 380V three-phase power (3 Phase + Neutral + Ground) at 50–60Hz, a UPS rated at 15–30 kW, and compressed clean air at 6 Bar delivering 500 Litres per Minute. The compressed air must be free of humidity and oil — ceramic printheads are more sensitive to contaminated air than standard flex printing machines or printer for vinyl setups because ceramic inks contain heavy mineral pigments that can settle and clog if air quality is poor. If your shop already runs flex printing equipment, you may already have some of this infrastructure, but the air quality requirement for ceramic printing is stricter and worth investing in proper filtration.

They share some underlying technology — both use inkjet printheads to deposit ink onto a moving substrate — but the inks, substrates, and end processes are completely different. Flex printing uses solvent or eco-solvent inks on PVC-based flex media, and the print is typically finished when it comes off the flex printing machines (maybe with lamination). Ceramic printing uses mineral-based ceramic inks containing glass frits and metal oxides — the print goes onto a raw or glazed tile, but the colour does not fully develop until the tile is fired in a kiln at 800–1200°C. The ceramic printer is just the first step; the kiln is what locks the design permanently into the tile surface. Another difference: ceramic inks are heavier and more abrasive than flex inks, which is why the D740-10 uses SEIKO RC1536 recirculation printheads specifically designed to keep heavy pigments moving. A standard printer for vinyl or flex printing machine cannot handle ceramic inks — the nozzles would clog quickly. If your small printing business already does flex printing, the D740-10 is a complementary addition, not a replacement.

The D740-10 is one of the most popular and economical 10-colour ceramic printers available. It combines SEIKO RC1536 recirculation printheads, 10 ink channels for extended colour and special effects, 360 DPI resolution, adjustable drop size from 14~133pl, and a 37 kHz firing frequency in one purpose-built ceramic printing machine. It works as a wide format printer and large format printer specifically engineered for ceramic substrates — not a modified sign printer. With two width options (D740-10 and D1170-10), it scales from mid-format tile production to full large-format ceramic panels. For tile factories upgrading from screen printing, décor studios adding digital capability, or a small printing business expanding into ceramic printing alongside existing flex printing work, the D740-10 delivers industrial digital printing equipment at a practical price point.
