Printing on glass surfaces can be a challenge due to their unique characteristics
Printing on glass surfaces can be a challenge due to their unique characteristics, including their smooth and non-porous surface . However, pad printing is an excellent method for achieving high-quality prints on glass surfaces. This method is highly effective in transferring ink to irregular or curved glass surfaces, making it a versatile solution for printing on various glass items.
To ensure successful pad printing on glass, it is crucial to use the right ink type and ensure proper adhesion. Farbaglass inks are the most commonly used inks for printing on glass surfaces as they are highly durable, scratch-resistant, and can withstand high temperatures without fading or smudging. Additionally, it's essential to clean the glass surface and remove any debris or oils that could interfere with ink adhesion. Pre-treating the glass with a specialized primer can also improve adhesion and ensure long-lasting prints. Sometimes post treatment with UV is also recommended when printing on glass.UV treatment helps to harden the ink, making it more resistant to scratching, fading, and other forms of wear and tear. It also enhances the overall appearance of the print.
