Screen printing of ceramic ink is the best performance for imaging on glass, but it has the setup expense,
and is not as flexible for designs as digital printing. Digital printing direct to glass is not yet generally used as a proven
result.
For this reason we are bringing to market two products to aid the industry:
- An optically clear PET film that can be applied to one side of the glass
- A PET Film without adhesive that can be Interlayered into the glass
Advantages:
Amazing high quality Optically clear Film printing including white for impact, makes it look like the ink is directly printed onto the glass, with vivid colours that look just as good from both sides of the glass.
The PET film gives all the usual added protection and properties, which in its own right adds value. (see below properties).
A great way to give a small or large scale jobs an excellent glass printed finish without the inherent high costs!
Phone us today to discuss your requirement, we can discuss all options of printing on Glass, and the different results.
We can supply etched effect film, and even print it as a fading etch effect for design or privacy glass
