What is UV glass printing?
UV glass printing is popular in Europe, and is gaining popularity in the US. UV glass printing allows designers to print complex graphics on windows, mirrors, glassware and a wide range of other glass products. It’s an obvious solution for businesses, especially those that have glass windows, doors and showcases. In fact, retailing and merchandising are currently the most popular applications for UV glass printing. The technique can also be used in architectural applications and to enhance interior spaces.
UV inkjet glass printing delivers a vibrant, photorealistic image, printed directly onto glass. Printing directly onto glass eliminates the extra labor, materials and expertise needed to mount transparent film on glass. Because the inkjet UV glass printing process is efficient, it produces a superior product at a lower overall cost. It also excels in short-run applications, which means that it can be used to create highly customized printed glass products affordably.
Digital inkjet UV glass printing allows designers to use the full color spectrum to create high quality images on glass. Using glass as a medium also allows designers to control lighting and make eye-catching displays using the fixtures that are normally available in retail settings. Using fixtures that are already part of the retail layout means that designers don’t have to find additional space for marketing or sacrifice space on the sales floor for marketing displays.
As an added benefit, UV glass printing does not require any post-processing or curing to fix the image on the glass. This shortens the production process, making it easy to update glass printed displays.
The Glassprimer™ glass surface molecular activator prepares the glass surface for inkjet UV glass printing. One quart bottle prepares up to 265 square feet of glass for printing. Printed images, adhesives and urethane coatings can make a permanent bond with glass following use of this surface preparation.
