Printing the glasses
Customized colors and forms
With a high-quality screen printing process, multicolored designs as well as small and large numbers are possible. To avoid any problems with abrasion and nice depth effect, we usually print on the back of the glass pane readable on the front.
In principle, each pane can be printed. However, depending on the application, we recommend to perform adhesion tests.
- Max. printable area: 1000 x 700 mm (39,37 x 27,56 inch); Special formats on request
- Pressure possible up to the edge of the pane
- Min. line width: 0,3 mm (0,01 inch)
- Colors = preferably coloring according to RAL-colors, other color systems such as: Pantone, HKS, NCS, color samples of the customer as well as ceramic colors on request
- Color digital printing = created in CMYK, as well as referance samples for matching
- Optical density: according to specification to D= 3,5 bis 4
- Pressure tolerance:
- Contour definition / Edge blur (mm) ± 0,15 (±0,01 inch)
- Tolerance within the pressure
within a formative pressure (mm)
according to general tolerances DIN ISO 2768-1 fine:
< 120 mm: ± 0,15 (< 4,72 inch: ± 0,01)
≥ 120 mm < 400 mm: ± 0,2 (≥ 4,72 inch < 15,75 Inch: ± 0,01)
≥ 400 mm: ± 0,3 (≥ 15,75 inch: ± 0,01)
between formative prints (mm) (offset to 2., 3., etc. color):
< 400 mm ±0,3 (< 15,75 inch: ± 0,01)
≥ 400 mm ± 0,5 (≥ 15,75 inch: ± 0,02)
- Contour definition / Edge blur (mm) ± 0,15 (±0,01 inch)
- Surface defects:
