EFI Cretaprint Boosts Indian Ceramic Industry with 5th Generation Smart Printers

Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) and distribution partner Xphere India Group recently introduced the fifth generation of EFI Cretaprint at a roadshow in Morbi, India, the center of India’s ceramics industry, with more than 600 attendees coming from more than 400 Indian tile producers. The mid-December event was one of the industry’s most significant private events for industrial digital ceramics manufacturers.
 
The fifth generation Cretaprint portfolio showcased at the roadshow allows tile manufacturers to achieve efficient, high-end digital decoration for nearly any size configuration and design need.
 
“The Cretaprint 5th generation is truly the industry’s first ‘Smart Printer’ for ceramics, covering most of the tile sizes manufactured in the ceramic industry,” said José Luis Ramón Moreno, VP and GM, EFI Industrial Printing.
 
The leaders of the Morbi Ceramics Associations – Vitrified Tiles Division president Mukesh Ughareja, Wall Tiles Division president Nilesh Jetpariya and Floor Tiles Division president Kishor Bhalodiya – also participated as supporters of the event. The association executives provided a presentation that painted a bright picture of the Indian ceramics industry, citing production of more than 17 billion square feet and production growth of 20% in recent years.
