Ceramic Enamels
Direct Screen Printing
In direct screen printing, individual screen stencils are created for each color, allowing ink to be applied directly to glass. Our process utilizes two different ink systems: ceramic enamels and UV inks.
Ceramic enamels are a mixture of pigments and finely ground glass that when fired through our high-temperature lehrs, bonds to the glass or ceramic surface. This makes it a permanent imprint, that is long lasting and dishwasher-safe. Ceramic enamels are great for full wrap designs up to 8 colors on a wide variety of glass shapes, some of which have expanded print areas!
UV Inks
UV inks are available in bold colors and are easiest to match to a pantone color. These cure instantly under the UV lights on our machines to provide durable, glossy finish.
These are great for colorful designs up to 7 spot colors and on select items we offer 4 color process direct screen. Art reviews are required for these and full wrap designs (which may be limited).
