    MARKET POTENTIAL OF DIGITAL TILES INTRODUCED BY

    VARMORA GRANITO PVT LTD.

    Varmora Granito Pvt LTD is the first Indian tile company who have startsmanufacturing of digital printed tiles. Digital tiles have been introduced

    earlier in market by the companies like Kajaria but they are not

    manufacturing these tile they imports these tiles.

    This project report is a verification of the decision taken by the management

    of Varmora tiles in the context of digital tiles that is the decision of

    manufacturing in India is right or not. And also many more question like in

    which segment digital tiles doing well? What are the pros and cons of

    manufacturing digital printed tiles?What type of competition these tiles are facing in the market and what is the

    future of digital printed tiles? In which pattern and shades digital printed tiles

    coming? What are the qualities does digital tiles have? What are the

    advantages of digital tiles over other tiles? These are some questions and this

    project it just an effort to answer all these.

    Firstly Varmora have introduced digital printing in ceramic tiles and then in

    vitrified tiles. There are many advantages of digital printing technology upon

    other printing technology. Actually we can say that there are some drawbacks

    of these technologies that is why digital is used in printing now.

    Digital printing makes tiles more beautiful and gives them more natural look

    as a result tiles becomes most beautiful decoration material for residential as

    well commercial houses.

    With the help of this research we have to find out that how many segments of

    market captured by digital printed tiles.

    TILE

    A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone,

    metal, or even glass. Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors, walls,

    showers, or other objects such as tabletops. Alternatively, tile can sometimesrefer to similar units made from lightweight materials such as pearl, wood,

    and mineral, typically used for wall and ceiling applications. Less precisely,

    the modern term can refer to any sort of construction tile or similar object,

    such as rectangular counters used in playing game. The word is derived from

    the French word Italian, which is, in turn, from the letin word tegula, meaning

    a roof tile, composed of fired clay.

    Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from

    simple square tiles to complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from

    porcelain, fired clay or ceramic with a hard glaze, but other materials are alsocommonly used, such as glass, metal, cork, and stone. Tiling stone is typically

    marble, onyx, granite or slate. Thinner tiles can be used on walls than on

    floors, which require thicker, more durable surfaces.

    WHAT ARE DIGITAL PRINTED TILES

    There is no change in the composition of tile in case of digital tile also. Body is

    same, the only change is in the printing. Means if are using digital printing in

    ceramic tile the whole production process will be the same the change whichwill occur is only in printing. The same is in the case of vitrified tiles.

    Digital printing gives tiles a natural look and makes them glossier.

    Manufacturing of digital tiles is a milestone in the history of Indian tile

    industry and Varmora is initiator. With the help of digital printing tiles

    becomes so versatile that it can be used any where as a flooring material of aswell as decorating material.

    WHAT ARE SCREEN PRINTED TILE?

    Screen printing is used in tiles from a long time. There are some draw backs of

    this printing thats why a new technique ofprinting has discovered. In foreigncountries like Italy and Spain this digital printing has been used from many

    past years.

    Screen printed tiles can be seen everywhere at this time. In these type of tiles

    screens are used for printing on tiles. Before digital printing market was

    covered by screen printed tiles.

    SCREEN PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

    Screen printing is a stencil method of print making in which a design is

    imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with

    an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the

    printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph.

    Screen printing inks can be used to work on a variety of surfaces - such as

    textiles, ceramics, metal, wood, paper, glass, and plastic. As a result, screen

    printing is used in many different industries, from clothing to product labels

    to tile printing.

    DIGITAL PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

    In digital printing there is no contact with the tile surface. The most popular

    technology adopted by most producers of machines is called Drop-On-Demand (DOD). It is based on a piezoelectric device that deforms under

    voltage enabling droplet expulsion. The most popular colour system is the

    well known CMYK standard. This is an acronym for the colours Cyan, Magenta,

    Yellow and Black (for black K is used instead of B to avoid confusion with

    Blue). In the CMYK system the black separation contains the details, thus it is

    called the "Key plate.Cyan, magenta and yellow overlap in different

    percentages to produce the colours in the following figure. They overlap at

    100% of each to produce a very dark brown, for this reason the additional

    black ink is employed.

    Depending on whether there are 3, 4 or 6 inks in the machine a specific

    colorimetric procedure is employed to separate colors in the original image to

    obtain a plate for each.

    In following picture we can see the example.

    The final image is reproduced by overlaying these ink colours.To enable high output (more than 1000 m2/hr) the print head assembly

    containing the nozzles spans the entire width of the tiles. When the color

    assemblies are arranged in succession we have following configuration (byDurst).

    ADVANTAGE OF DIGITAL PRINTING OVER SCREEN PRINTING

    HIGH DEFINATION TILES

    With the help of digital printing tiles are replacing marble. As marble prices

    begin to rise in these times of meltdown, tiles are making deeper inroads into

    urban homes. And they are getting more makeovers to suit market demands.

    These exotic marble tiles come in various shapes and sizes fulfilling needs and

    desires of people from all sections of society.

    The advantages of digital printed tiles are that they are cheaper than natural

    marble, easy-to-install whilst they also retain the beauty of natural marble

    With tiles making a style statement for homes, Varmoras Marble finish tiles

    promises to suit the demands of the marble lovers. The Platina series of

    Marble finish tiles has natural marble textures combined with interesting

    texture finishes. With an exact replica of Italian marble, this cost effective tile

    can be used for walls, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Due to digital

    printing the veins appear very clear with high details sharp printing. The

    series is available in varied textures and colors.

    Customize Tiles

    RANDOM PRINTING

    Patterns and shades are not repeated systematically in digital printing. It is

    just like a modern art just let play with the designs. You cannot match the

    linings of the tiles with each other.

    18/41

    18

    REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL ONE

    With the help of digital printing in tiles we can use customize imaging in tiles

    also. Customized imaging is a process with which you press your favourite

    image on tiles on a tile mural. The process itself is rarely used for fine art.

    Your favourite bike or a floral print or an arty image can be printed on the tile

    to adorn the walls of certain areas in your house. The best part of digital

    printed tiles is that it brings out the creative person in you.

    In one command of computer you will get the same to same copy of the

    picture feed in computer in tiles surface. This printing gives lots of designs,

    shades and models to tiles. Digital technology prints anything on any type of

    surface.

    Technology has championed us to achieve what we previously could just

    imagine. Creativity and imagination no longer needs to be restricted to

    materials and undone by imprecision, says Bhavesh Varmora, the managing

    director of Varmora Group.

    NATURAL LOOK

    You are getting replica of image in the tile with the help of digital printing. It

    means there is no change in real and printed one. This quality of digital

    printing gives natural look to tiles. Means there is nothing fake in printing

    every thing is real.

    One another advantage of digital tiles is that the width of this printing is very

    deep which makes the printing everlasting.

    Varmoras digital printing technology is a classic instance of technology driven

    advancement that eliminates all the errors of colour variation and texture

    differences commonly noticeable in ceramics.

    3D PRINTING

    Digital printing is closely relates to the 3rd dimensional printing because in

    this printing designs can be coded as it is in the drawing.

    ABSOLUTE STABILTIY OF IMAGE

    The image which is printed on tile is absolute. There is no fear that it will

    erase, it is fix on the surface and remain there for a long time.

    ELIMINATION OF SO MANY EQUIPMENT

    Digital printing have eliminate many equipment from the site likescreens,screen rollers, silicon rollers, devices to engrave, etc. these all makes hough

    potch in working area with new technology we get great comfort.

    SHORTER TIME TO CHANGE DRAWINGS AND COLORS

    Digital technology is commanded by computer so there is very easy to change

    drawing and colours. Every thing takes place in one command.

    STORAGE AND CONTROL OF ALL PRINTING PARAMETER IS EASIER

    Storage and control becomes easier with the advancement in technology with

    the help of use can store lots of design and colours in very small area then any

    other printing technology.

  • 8/2/2019 DEVSTHALI VIDYAPEETH

    20/41

    20

    REDUCTION IN STOCKS OF PIGMENT USED

    There is reduction of stock of pigment used in printing with the help of digital

    technology. This is an advantage of screen printing because in screen printing

    you have to store many colours but in digital printing colour mixing technique

    is used.

    EASIER TESTING IN LOWER COST

    Print can be test easily in digital printing because we know that drawing will

    be print as it is looking in reality. As storage and testing comes down cost ofmaintenance and storage automatically reduces.

    INCREACES CREATIVITY

    Digital printing technology automatically increases the creativeness of yours.

    As you can put your imagination on tiles surface. It allows you to print any

    picture drawing you want to print on tile.

    21

    IMPROVING POINTS

    There are many advantages of digital printing but we must kept into mint that

    this technology still have to improve

    NO HIGHER THICKNESS OF PASTE

    We must also admit that digital printing cannot always substitute for

    traditional methods of printing, especially when we need higher thicknesses

    of paste or when we need strongly colored surface areas. Work is in progress

    so we can expect improvements and further cost reductions because inkjettechnology is still in evolution (after overcoming initial problems). Inkjet

    technology is currently expanding its reach to different kinds of tile and, of

    course, the technology aspect itself is arousing the interest of more

    development.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCREEN AND DIGITAL PRINTINGS

    FASTER

    Digital printing is much faster than screen printing. Printing with screens isstill widely used by tile manufacturing companies and is still a quality process,

    but the digital process has quickly become the chief alternative for small runs.

    The set up for digital is much easier and cost effective. In the screen process

    one has to set up a screen for each color the design takes, which means that

    the more complex the design is the more screens the printer is going to need.

    This increases the manual labor. With digital tiles there are unlimited colors

    and no screen. Instead of setting up all the screens beforehand, the only set up

    digital requires is a pre-treatment of the tiles, which gives tile a solid base and

    this takes a few time

    MORE CONTROL

    Digital printing offers much more control during the printing process than

    screen printing. Digital printing gives a printer the option of auto-matching

    ink. Instead of mixing inks, the screen printing way, ink matching allows the

    digital printer to print any color from the original design directly onto the tile.

    The digital ink process makes it easier to print multi-colored designs digitally

    tile.

    FLEXIBILITY

    Digital printing, which includes direct printing and heat transfers, offers much

    flexibility than any printing method in terms of color options and detail.

    Unlike screen printing, colors are unlimited and gradients and shading are a

    snap.

    23/41

    23

    SERIES AND ORDER SIZE

    You can print off aslittleorasmany prints as you want. Lets say, for example,

    that you want to make a fruit tile for kitchen. You can print out a heat transfer

    or order a single shirt without the expensive set up fees that are associated

    with screen printing (since an entire screen print has to be made). If you dont

    like a part of the design in the final product its easy to go back to your digital

    file and correct any mistakes. Also, if your tile turn out so well that you want

    to print in large number of quantity, it is very easy to do so.

    ACCESSIBILITY

    In this day and age people are likely to have some form of access to a

    computer. So, exceptions aside, most will already have (or have access to) the

    basic materials or equipment needed to design and produce tiles in digital

    way. The startup costs therefore are very low.

    WEAR AND TEAR

    With time, use, wash a tile printed in any format willshowsignsofuse. It is

    generally accepted that digital printing methods, though they hold up quite

    well, show signs of fatigue sooner than screen printed tiles.

    We can also consider these differences as the reason why digitally printed tiles are

    coming fast in the market

    SWOT ANALYSIS OF VARMORAS DIGITAL TILES

    STRENGTH

    Varmora is the first manufacturer of digital tiles, so we have cheaperdigital tiles then other compnies as other companies import these tiles

    from other countries like Spain and Italy. Because of taxes these tiles

    becomes much costlier.

    Varmora is the first company who is manufacturing digital printedvitrified tiles this is one of the greatest advantage of its digital tiles

    because before digital printing there are very few shades and designs in

    vitrified tiles but with the help of this printing changes will occur in

    vitrified tile also.

    Varmora have better sizes in digital tiles then other companies. Thesizes we in digital printing are 2x1, 200x10, 20x10 with different price,

    18x12.

    In marketing office of north zone there isa different panel of marketingexpert who is working for the selling, advertisement and for the

    networking of digital tiles.

  • 8/2/2019 DEVSTHALI VIDYAPEETH

    25/41

    25

    WEAKNESS

    Advertisement and launching of Varmoras digital tile is not satisfactory.As there is no information In the market about digital tile. Here I want to

    make a fair statement that advertisement technique of Varmora Garnito

    Pvt LTD is very weak and unsatisfactory. Total concentrate is upon

    personal selling

    Digital tiles are very costly that only rich persons can think about them.In big projects it makes trouble to use them in huge quantity because it

    crosses the budget.

  • 8/2/2019 DEVSTHALI VIDYAPEETH

    26/41

    26

    THREATS

    Upcoming competitors are the reason of threat. There will be manymore followers in the market who is and who will follow this technique

    of printing and Varmora will not get the benefit of first launching of

    digital tiles.

    Kajaria an all the big player have launched digital tiles this makescompetitiom more and more tough because they are the brand name in

    tile industry. Cutomer will love to buy digital tiles manufactured by

    these companies.

    Sunhart will also became a big problem for Varmoras digital tiles.

    OPPORTUNITY

    In coming future digital tiles will fired in the market. The uses of digital will

    increases

    LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

    The data collected from the dealers might not be very accurate to obtaindesired result

    The sample size which has been taken is small, to make a universaldecision.

    There was a lack of time and resources that prevented from carrying outon in depth study

    The findings of the respondent and there is subjective opinion of therespondent and there is no way of acquiring truth of the statement

    there is some respondent bias which cannot be removed.

    There is influence of others on this project report like shortage ofinformation, Lack of necessary tools and many more things.

    Some time there is misunderstanding of concept in the mind ofrespondent at the time he is filling questionnaire.

    Hurried filling of the questionnaire is also a limitation of the study. In rapidly changing industry this type of analysis are not satisfactory

    there is a need of updated information in each minute.

    FINDINGS

    This time digital tiles are in their introductory stage in market. Somaking any broad conclusion is wrong in itself.

    There are many other firms who have started the production of digitalprinted tiles. This is rapidly increasing the competition. In future this

    competition becomes more and more tough.

    Market price of digital tile is very higher then other normal tiles. Thismake customer thoughtful about these tiles. In projects it will cost very

    high.

    Customers who are not very strong financially, they are not thinkingabout digital tiles.

    The print of digital tiles is marvellous. This printing will becomemilestone in the field of vitrified tiles because the only drawback of

    vitrified tile is there are very few shades and design in it but with the

    help of digital printing

    this weakness can be overcome.

    As we know that digital tiles are costlier then other simple tiles. Dealershave to deal with customer and in negotiation margin comes down

    thats why they are complaining for margin.

    SUGGESTION

    The must thing which is required is advertisement and launching. In oursurvey we have find out that there is lack of information in market

    aboutVarmoras digital tiles. Advertisement can really helpful in it.

    Our sales executive can also help dealers in framing display in showroom.

    There is lack of competitors analysis, for tackling competition it ismandatory to get updated information of your competitors.

    If Varmora provide digital tiles to customer with cheaper rate it willreally increase sale of digital tiles and also increase the market

    potential.

    There is need to create a good information channel which will help ingetting new orders

    In the international market Internet plays a major role today, we havealso an opportunity to sell our product from getting on lineorder on internet, so the company should improve its web site and also

    have to improve online order booking process.

    Company should increase its production strength because there is moredemand in the market for Varmora companies tiles

    Company should give different offer to the consumers to attract them.

    Company is not making a constant reply or using the internet properlyfor the well going of business.

    Packaging should be taken into consideration our study concludedthat packaging is poor.

    To create brand image it is necessary to focus on retail marketingalso

    Company should have to work upon its service after sale, which isalso poor.
