Product Description

Ceramic Printer T2150-10 with SEIKO RC1536 printheads, 10 channels, 2100mm extra-wide print area, 360 DPI. Best ceramic printer for 2000mm big slab printing, extra-wide floor tiles, architectural panels, print on demand slabs and large format ceramic production.

Ceramic Printer T2150-10 | Extra-Wide Digital Ceramic Printing Machine & Large Format Printer

The Ceramic Printer T2150-10 is an extra-wide ceramic printing machine built for factories that print the largest tiles and slabs in the market. With a 2100mm printing width, 10 ink channels, and SEIKO RC1536 printheads, this ceramic printer handles tiles that are simply too wide for 740mm, 1170mm, or even 1320mm machines — including 2000mm big slabs, extra-wide floor panels, and continuous ceramic surfaces that demand a true large format printer. As the widest single-stage ceramic printing machine before stepping up to the full 30-channel KT2100 glaze line, the T2150-10 gives factories the width they need without the complexity and cost of a multi-stage system.

For a small printing business that has grown into serious ceramic production, or a sign shop running flex printing and flex printing machines that is ready to move into high-margin large-format ceramic tile production, the T2150-10 opens up a completely different market segment — big slab tiles, architectural panels, and wide-format interior surfaces that command premium pricing. It uses the same proven SEIKO RC1536 recirculation printheads, adjustable drop size from 14~98pl (up to 13~133pl), 360 DPI native resolution, and 37 kHz firing frequency as the rest of the T-series platform. With 10 channels supporting CMYK plus extended colours and special effects, print on demand custom slabs, and continuous factory runs, the T2150-10 is focused digital printing equipment that does one thing exceptionally well — print very wide tiles reliably, at speed, day after day. Available in two widths — T1320-10 (1320mm) for standard large tiles and T2150-10 (2100mm) for extra-wide and big slab production.

Key Advantages of Ceramic Printer T2150-10

✔ 2100mm Extra-Wide Printing

A 2100mm print width handles the biggest tiles and slabs on the market — 2000mm big slabs, extra-wide floor panels, and continuous ceramic surfaces — in a single pass. For a ceramic printer serving the premium large-format segment, this width is the entry point.

✔ SEIKO RC1536 Recirculation Printheads

SEIKO RC1536 industrial printheads with recirculation keep heavy ceramic pigments from settling during long production runs. At 2100mm width, consistent ink flow across the full printhead span is critical — and this head design delivers it.

✔ 10-Colour Channel Configuration

10 ink channels support CMYK plus extended colours or special-effect inks. For a ceramic printing machine focused on width and throughput rather than maximum channel complexity, 10 channels provide the right balance for most big slab production.

✔ Adjustable Drop Size 14~133pl

Drop size from 14~98pl (expandable to 13~133pl) gives operators control over fine detail on marble and wood effects, smooth gradients, and heavy ink coverage for dark big slab designs and glaze-effect inks.

✔ 37 kHz Firing & 360 DPI

37 kHz firing frequency with 360 DPI native resolution keeps ceramic printing fast enough for continuous factory lines even at 2100mm width — no quality sacrifice on large-format tiles that customers inspect closely.

✔ Print-on-Demand for Big Slabs

Digital workflow enables custom big slab tiles, short sample runs, and print on demand wide-format designs without screens. For a small printing business entering the premium slab market, this removes the screen-printing barrier entirely.

Ceramic Printer T2150-10 FAQ

Digital ceramic tile printing uses a specialised ceramic printer — not a standard inkjet printer and not a ceramic 3D printer. The machine required depends on your tile width. For tiles up to 740mm, compact 10-channel models handle the work. For tiles up to 1170mm, wider machines like the K-1170-12 take over. For tiles up to 1320mm, the T1320-10 is the right fit. And for tiles from 1500mm to 2100mm — the big slab and extra-wide panel market — a ceramic printing machine like the T2150-10 is what you need. All these machines use SEIKO RC1536 printheads with recirculation systems that handle heavy ceramic inks containing glass frits and mineral pigments. The ceramic printer jets the design onto a flat tile as it passes through on a conveyor belt, and the tile then goes into a kiln at 800–1200°C where the inks fuse permanently into the surface. A ceramic 3D printer is a completely different machine — it builds three-dimensional objects from clay layer by layer, while a ceramic printer like the T2150-10 decorates the flat surface of an already-formed tile or slab.

The cost of a ceramic printing machine scales primarily with width and channel count. Compact 740mm 10-channel models sit at the lower end. Mid-format machines like the T1320-10 (1320mm) are priced higher. The T2150-10 at 2100mm width represents a significant step up in cost due to the wider frame, larger belt system, and higher UPS requirement (20–35 kW vs 15–30 kW on smaller models). Full production glaze lines like the KT1500-28 and KT2100-30 with 28-30 channels are at the highest investment tier. Beyond the ceramic printer itself, the biggest additional cost is the kiln — a kiln capable of firing 2100mm-wide tiles at 800–1200°C is a substantial investment. You also need 380V three-phase power, compressed air at 6 Bar and 500 L/Min with oil-free dry air, plus ongoing costs for ceramic inks and printhead maintenance. For a small printing business comparing this to adding another flex printing machine or printer for vinyl, the entry cost is higher — but big slab ceramic tiles command premium per-square-metre pricing that can justify the investment. Contact a supplier for specific T2150-10 pricing based on your configuration and shipping requirements.

The best ceramic printer is the one that matches your tile width, production volume, and channel requirements — not the one with the highest spec sheet. For small studios or a small printing business entering ceramic printing, a 740mm model is the right start. For factories printing standard tiles up to 1200mm, the T1320-10 offers the best width-to-cost ratio. For factories that produce big slabs from 1500mm to 2100mm wide — the fastest-growing segment in the ceramic industry — the T2150-10 is one of the best options. Its 2100mm width covers the widest slabs without the cost and complexity of a 28-30 channel glaze line. If your factory also needs to apply base glaze and effects digitally in one continuous line, then the KT2100-30 becomes the better choice despite its higher price. The T2150-10 earns its "best" ranking for a clear scenario: when you need extra-wide single-pass colour printing on big slabs and you do not need a full base-colour-effects glaze workflow. Again, a ceramic 3D printer serves a completely different purpose — it builds 3D clay objects, not flat tile decoration.

A ceramic printer like the T2150-10 works through a multi-step process that is fundamentally different from flex printing or any other digital printing method:

Step 1 — Ink Preparation: Ceramic inks containing glass frits, metal oxides, and mineral pigments are loaded into the ceramic printing machine. These inks are heavier and more abrasive than solvent inks used in flex printing machines. The T2150-10 uses SEIKO RC1536 printheads with recirculation that keeps pigments suspended and flowing evenly across the full 2100mm width.

Step 2 — Digital Printing: The big slab or tile is placed on the 2200mm conveyor belt. As it passes under the printheads, the ceramic printer jets the design using variable drop sizes (14~133pl) at 360 DPI and 37 kHz. With 10 channels, the T2150-10 applies CMYK plus effects in a single pass.

Step 3 — Drying: The printed slab may pass through a drying section to remove moisture carriers from the ink before kiln entry.

Step 4 — Kiln Firing: This is the step that separates ceramic printing from all other digital printing. The printed tile enters a kiln at 800–1200°C. The glass frits melt and fuse with the tile surface, and the metal oxides develop their final permanent colours. The design becomes part of the tile itself — scratch-resistant, water-resistant, UV-stable, and chemically bonded.

Step 5 — Quality Check & Packing: The finished big slab or tile is inspected and shipped.

Unlike flex printing where the print is finished off the machine, ceramic printing is only complete after kiln firing. And unlike a ceramic 3D printer that builds shapes from clay, a ceramic printer decorates flat surfaces of already-formed tiles and slabs.
