Think about blending together a number of well known tile decoration techniques to offer all advantages and benefits that each of them has, while avoiding the disadvantages that they usually bring with them. Now consider how you would like a glazing line to be:

• Versatile to allow your R&D department and designers to express true creativity, with the awareness that production will deliver what is required.
• Reliable and capable of reproducing a desired effect or decoration for as long as needed, without continuous adjustments.
• Flexible to the point of combining on the same support silk screening, line based and stochastic effects all together.
• Cost effective both in terms of initial investment and running costs.
• Practical and fast turnaround of the decorating support that doesn't require specialized and expensive production labs.
• Logistically and ecologically friendly by using a decorating support that is robust while it is light and easy to store transport and recycle.

While each traditional decoration system available to date offers some of the above advantages Nuova Fima have recently patented MaKrom, a completely new concept of decoration system that offers all of the above together.

The R&D department of the Spezzano based company have developed a totally new support that enables a paradigm shift in tile decoration. MAKROM is the first system that combines graphic transfer with top fidelity and colour stability while offering a fast colour and product change.

The technology utilized also allows transferring significant quantities of glaze that enables overlapping of several layers and obtaining thick reliefs that are usually not possible when using other decoration system available on the market. The graphic arts works can be obtained by a number of different methodologies and they can be produced by standard industrial photo engraving. MAKROM can be produced in large sizes allowing up to 126 different images to be on the same support.
