A digital glaze for high grammage, without the use of anti-settling agents, referred to as digital glazes for digital inkjet printing techniques to apply high grammage, maintaining the same aesthetic and technical characteristics obtained with traditional glazes and non-digital application techniques. No anti-settling agents are used in the composition to prevent the digital glaze from being thixotropic and creating problems in the inkjet printing. The composition includes at least one medium that is liquid at ambient temperature, formed by a mixture of water and polar solvents and/or solvents of medium to low polarity, having a percentage by weight of between 20 and 70% of the total weight of the digital glaze; and at least one mixture of ceramic raw materials and/or frits as a glaze-forming material, having a percentage by weight of between 30 and 80% of the total weight of the digital glaze.
