Today’s technology dominates almost every corner of life. Every aspect, factor, and instrument of man’s living is dominated by technology. From the time he wakes up until he falls asleep at night, almost every facet of life has technology written all over it.

Modern technology actually is simply a further instrument in man’s living because of his desire to:

A. Do things easier or faster.

B. The crave for ‘experiencing’ new things

C. Make most things he creates either beautiful, aesthetic, or desirable.

These basic needs, wants and desires of human beings and our endeavours in these directions have kept the innovation cycles rolling. Interestingly, the innovation cycles are also run by a common fuel across industry circles, ‘A never-ending search of the ‘ideal’. People keep on reinventing the wheel in several ways just to make sure that wheel of evolution keeps on moving.

One of the most well accepted studies of human psychology is the Maslow’s theory of growth. As per Maslow’s hypothesis, humans strive to satisfy the Basic Needs ...
... (Food, Clothing and shelter) as the topmost priority and once they are satisfied humans move over to satisfy their Social needs (Safety, Security, Social respect, etc.). Now, without going to the subsequent levels of Maslow’s analysis, let’s zero down on the shelter (or the home) and social needs (respect in the society) as the prime focus of our discussion.

Human beings have broken both these barriers and associated home with personal status and self esteem. Homes today are perceived as something that speaks of the owner. Fitting in the picture in the most perfect way is the advent of Digital Tiles. The digital tiles are normal representation of the images, pictures, landscapes that one sees on cameras, laptops or other digital devices on the floor or wall tiles.

What wonders of technology can we think of next when we can find our own images embedded on floor or wall tiles. So, how are Digital Tiles made?

a) Choose an image or photo you want printed.
b) The image then goes through the process of finishing touches and the correct resolution using editing software.
c) The final image then undergoes ceramic printing using special ceramic tile printers and ceramic tile toners.
d) This process is also called “custom tile printing” and the images become permanent impressions on the Digital Tiles.

Settings on the digital ceramic tile printers can have printing choices ranging from multiple printing for different individual tiles, multiple printing for uniform sized tiles, or printing on a single common tile block.

Inside the large digital tile printers, the tiles go through an intense heat transfer process to ensure proper color modalities. Each tile is subjected to high temperatures, fusing, and high pressure to ensure that proper fusing of the images happen. Tiles can often be ready for customers in 24 hours.

With this technology, it’s now possible to see your portrait or pictures of your family on floor or wall tiles. Perhaps, it’s a landscape or nature photo you took on your last safari vacation. Either way, the image and its colors will never fade and the tiles will emit no bad effects or hazards such as chemical toxicity. It’s like personally stamping your personality unto your home‘s tiles.
