Ceramic screen printing

In the glass-ceramic screen printing are color areas and motifs printed. Slides or photos are digitized for the motif print. The digitized data is exposed directly onto a printing screen. One after the other, each individual color is printed on glass elements that have already been cut to their final format and then dried. Once all the colors have been applied, the printed glass element is fired at 700 ° C. The thermal treatment turns the glass into toughened safety glass . At the same time, the colors are fixed. The colors are permanently lightfast, solvent-resistant and wear-resistant according to DIN. The scratch resistance is 4 to 6 Mohs hardness. The temperature resistance of the prints is up to 200 ° C. The results are: 1-color motif print, duplex print, four-color set according to motif or color template, translucent print, high-coverage print and non-slip screen printing.
