SCREEN PRINTING ON GLASS
Screen printing involves pushing paint through a screen in which only the pattern areas are open. Exactly the same motif is applied to every sheet, which makes it the method for series: door signage, privacy strips, dot patterns on facades or furniture decors.
Screen printing on glass uses ceramic paints that are fired during tempering. The pattern then becomes part of the glass surface - it is resistant to abrasion, moisture and UV radiation, so it is also suitable outdoors.
WHEN TO USE SCREEN PRINTING
When the same pattern is to be repeated on many elements and must be durable: strips and dots on office glazing, dot patterns that reduce solar heat gain on facades, signage in public buildings, decors in furniture and doors.
SCREEN PRINTING AND TEMPERING
Ceramic paint is fired together with tempering, so screen printing and tempering are a single process. We make all dimensions, holes and cut-outs beforehand, according to the design.
Frequently asked questions
-
Is screen printing worth it for a single piece?
For single elements and full-colour graphics, UV digital printing works better. Screen printing requires a screen to be prepared, so it pays off for series.
-
Can a screen-printed pattern wear off?
Ceramic paint fired during tempering becomes part of the glass surface and is resistant to abrasion and weather.
-
In what form should I send the pattern?
Ideally as a vector file with the dimensions and layout of the pattern on the sheet. We will check it before preparing the screen.
