# Eterna Stone: what you see at a cut edge

**The body is tinted to match the face; the surface detail is printed.**

- **Printed surface detail**: A thin, digitally printed layer adds the fine veining you see on the face.
- **Tinted body**: The body is tinted to match the face, so a cut edge echoes the design instead of showing a plain white core.

## Five routes to a luxury-stone look

| Route | Face | Cut edge | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural luxury stone | Natural | Natural | Every slab differs; price and supply depend on the quarry and the block. |
| Sintered stone and porcelain slabs | Digitally printed, high detail | Body usually a plain tone | Hard, thin panels; mitres and edge repairs need specialist handling. |
| Conventional quartz | Granules and broad veins | Same mix as the face | Fine luxury-stone veining is hard to reproduce. |
| Surface-printed quartz | Digitally printed, high detail | Plain core at cuts | Sink cut-outs, mitres and waterfall edges expose the core. |
| Eterna Stone | High-detail digital print | Body tinted to match the face | Made for countertops, islands, vanities and walls. |

## What we don't claim
- That the surface detail runs all the way through the slab. The printed layer is thin; the body is tinted to match.
- That two production batches show zero color difference. Order by color code and confirm against a physical piece.
- Heat, scratch or stain performance. We publish no figures until a test report is available.
- That any design is natural stone. Every design is engineered quartz with its own name and code.
