ipadecor - ceramic screen printing
Design - the unlimited possibilities The new possibilities that ipadecor ceramic screen printing opens up for the design and enhancement of glass areas are virtually unlimited. This method uses high-grade machinery to print colors through fine-mesh fabric directly onto the glass surface. Areas of color and pictorial motifs can be printed in outstanding quality and with excellent definition.
An impressive variety of colors ipadecor ceramic screen printing is available in a wide range of standard designs. ipadecor can on request also be supplied with metallic and etched inks and with special color inks - plus numerous combinations of our standard colors and motifs - and all in perfect photographic quality. Special “Side One colors”, for example, lend the exposed outside surface (POS1) an extremely high resistance to the adverse effects of weathering and UV radiation and also prevent silvering.
Areas of use Ceramic printing techniques are suitable not only for the modern glass exteriors designed for large, prestigious buildings, e.g. façades, all-glass structures, insulating glass, and decorative breastwork, but also for interiors, e.g. shelving, bathroom furniture, shower screens and paneling, inlaid floors, kitchen products, shop interiors, partition wall systems, and doors, etc.
Baked in - forever The printed elements are baked into the glass at temperatures above 600 °C; this process converts the glass into tempered safety glass and fixes the colors once and for all. From this moment on the colors will not fade and remain resistant to the effects of solvents and abrasion. The prints remain scratchproof (with a hardness of 4 to 6 Mohs) and resistant to temperature fluctuation (up to 200 °C).
