Taica cubic printer painting
The substrate is then dried and painted. One of the main advantages of hydrographic printing is its ability to apply designs to complex geometries and large substrates.
CUBIC PRINTING
- The world’s first hydrographic printing technology, CUBIC PRINTING has made countless achievements over the years. Adjusting the top coat paint produces full gloss, tinted clear, soft touch, and other effects.
Elm burl which reproduces the glossy surface of full gloss real wood.
Olive ash with a tinted clear top coat, which reproduces the depth of stained wood.
Brushed metal combined with textured paint, which accentuates the metallic feel.
Full gloss carbon fiber with realistic fiber and weave details, which create a realistic, three-dimensional look.
S-CUBIC
- A high-definition version of CUBIC PRINTING that also makes exciting, new effects possible. S-CUBIC brings out the fine details in our patterns in a visually pleasing way. Also, adding sparkling pigments makes it possible to increase the personality and value of materials.
White oak which recreates the delicate shades in color and fine detail of real oak.
European cherry with geometric inlay.
Black quartz in which light reflects off tiny particles within the pitch black of the stone.
A graphic pattern with a great sense of depth created by layering dynamic stripes with brushed metal.
E-CUBIC
- An environmentally friendly, top coat-less technology featuring a smaller carbon footprint and reduced VOCs compared to standard CUBIC PRINTING. Unique effects, including matte-gloss and real haptics, make E-CUBIC decorations extremely realistic in both appearance and texture.
Zebra wood with fine texture details and characteristic stripes.
Black stained chestnut with gloss-matte effect, which accentuates the appearance of real wood.
Honeycomb mesh with a light, hard look.
Carbon fiber with a highly three-dimensional structure and real texture achieved by layering.
H-CUBIC
- H-CUBIC achieves brightness and three-dimensional effects approaching those of real metal using a special, proprietary film construction. This ground-breaking, Taica original technology pushes the limits of material expression, combining both reality and originality.
Crimson silk with a shimmering effect produced by fiber-like elements.
Black mesh which emits opalescent light, evoking mother-of-pearl.
Brushed metal which reflects light diffusely, like a butterfly’s wings.
Tiger’s eye which suggests the shimmering depths of the eponymous animal’s eye.
Taica’s Hydrographic Printing process can create a variety of texture and design effects by altering the steps taken after the hydrographic transfer.
Superior Pattern Coverage
One significant benefit of hydrographic printing is its unmatched pattern coverage. By harnessing the power of water pressure, printed designs can be evenly applied to even the most intricate part geometries.
Additionally, hydrographic printing can be utilized on parts up to 1 meter in length. This method allows for the customization of transfer conditions for each part, optimizing product quality.
Design Customization
The final appearance of Hydrographic Printing decoration results from the complex interaction between the substrate, ink, and top coat layers. The ability to adjust each of these layers enables a high level of design customization. For instance, combining opaque and transparent inks in a single pattern allows the substrate color itself to serve as a distinct design element. Using a metallic substrate, for example, yields exceptionally vibrant decorations. The gloss, color, and other characteristics of the protective top coat can also be tailored to meet specific requirements.
