KeraCromia® Suite
Our solution is Keracromia®
Keracromia is the innovative application suite which aims to solve the reproducibility issue of the ceramic industry.
Through the innovative technology, products can be created with the correct colour tone regardless of variations ofproduction conditions, such as different printers, inks, sizes, glazes or kiln temperature profile.
Benefits using Keracromia®
• Produce the same product on multiple production processes by the virtual model with the guarantee of the tone reproducibility over time and process evolution
• Perform virtual trial, giving the real perception of the colors and tone, without engaging the production line
• Get a digital master of the product from which it will always be possible to obtain a faithful reproduction, even in different production conditions for varied materials, ink, process, etc
• Objective evaluation of the perceptual difference between the master and the product lot (made)
• Trackable lots of the lots produced to have the control of its characteristic
• The knowledge of the production process over time, to control where the problems could be in having a stable process.
How does it work?
KeraArt® - Main Benefits
KeraArt® was designed with the aim of reproducing a ceramic image in two phases:
- The first is the mathematical construction of the printing process model
- The second is the creation of a print preview (soft proofing) and printing tooling
Therefore, KeraArt® allows to:
- Find a real producible solution on each production process
- Create the optimum graphics for the destination process
- Automatically generate tone variants
- Print on paper the proof to check the conformity of the final product with the original one
- Ensure the reproducibility of a graphic on multiple different production processes
- Deliver images usable for catalogs
Let's view each characteristic and functionalities one by one.

COLORSCAN - Main Features
• Acquire charts for measuring and modeling a ceramic process
• Acquire originals that need to be reproduced
• Banding free scan mode
• Spectral image analysis
• Anti shining functionality by changing the photometric range
• Images captured using Color Scan are saved in two different formats:
• digital “ips” format, if the spectrum is needed, as for example for images of charts to be analyzed for various jobs like Model creation or Ceramic process evaluation
• ”Tiff-Lab-16 bit” format, if CIE lab is requested as for example for graphics images of original products
• Scanned documents are saved with capture parameters and other useful information such as Illuminant, Observer, Acquisition data and Scanner Mode of Operation.
