Printed Quartz is a type of engineered quartz countertop that utilizes digital printing technology to create unique designs and patterns on the surface. This technology allows the creation of intricate and visually striking patterns and designs similar to marble or granite.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Quartz base: The base is still made from crushed quartz (percentages vary depending on supplier) combined with resins and pigments to create a durable and non-porous foundation.
Digital printing: A high-resolution image of the design is then printed directly onto the quartz base using specialized printers and inks. This allows manufacturers to create a design that mirrors marble, granite or porcelain but with the benefit or maintaining the characteristics of quartz.
Finishing: The printed quartz is then sealed and polished to achieve the desired level of shine and protection.
