Digital print on glass
The glass printing technology enebles the realisation of unique projects, including large-format graphics on the surface of glass. Modern PRESS GLASS digital printers apply ceramic paints fixed during toughening or heat strenghtening process, creating a durable, high-quality print.
A new dimension
of decorative glass
Printing on glass introduces the multicoloured world of photos and graphics into building constructions. With the applications of ceramic paints, cured during thermal processing, the print becomes an integral part of the glass, maintaining durability and mechanical strength. The technology, which uses six base colours, provides high-resolution photographic quality. With no need to prepare printing screens, unique projects, including large-format graphics tailored to glass facades and single glazing, can be realized quickly and economically.
