Digital In-Glass Printing
Prel-Design printed glass allows you to reproduce the image of your choice on one or more glass panels. The image is reproduced using a digital printer which applies one or more layers of liquid ceramic on the surface of the glass. Once the application is completed, the glass is tempered or heat strengthened, in order to fire-fuse the ceramic to the glass.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Any type of image or photo, opaque or translucent patterns can be printed.
- The same image can be repeated on several glass panels or enlarged and split between a number of panels, all in high definition, up to 720 dpi.
- Prel-Design Digital Printing is permanent and is exceptionally resistant to scratching, cracking, fading and chemical attacks
