The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic tiles, in particular to an ink-jet dry granular decorative ceramic tile and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: A. bottom glaze decoration; B. pattern decoration; C. drying for the first time; D. dry granular decoration; E. spraying a protective glaze; and F. calcining to obtain the product.The method for preparing the dry granular decorative ceramic tile has the advantages of simple operation steps, convenient control, simplified process flow, improved production efficiency, reduced production difficulty and production cost, so that the method is suitable for industrial large-scale production; by spraying with dry granular ink, spray printing can be carried out on a designated position on the surface of a blank body, so as to enable a spray printed texture to be accurately correspond to a pattern decorative texture, and thus the distribution uniformity and adhesion of dry granules on the surface of the blank body are improved, and the prepared ceramic tile product has clear and distinct patterns, low glaze gloss, good anti-skid effect, obvious dry granular feeling, strong stereoscopic impression, rich colors, stable physicochemical properties and wide temperature adaptation range.
