  • Publication number: 20210086538
    Abstract: A method for controlling an inkjet printing machine on slabs, the printing machine including a support for a slab, and a printing device moveable above the support along a sliding direction and spaced apart from it. The method includes determining a layered decoration to be made with the printing device on the surface of the slab, the layered decoration being formed from the juxtaposition of a plurality of layers of monochromatic decoration, setting an activation sequence of a printing group of the printing device during the sliding of the printing device along the sliding direction as a function of the determined layered decoration, making the printing device slide along the sliding direction on the slab resting on the support, activating the printing group during the sliding of the printing device along the sliding direction based on the set activation sequence and on a predetermined mutual position of the printing group along the direction of mutually adjacent arrangement.
