How to silkscreen print on glass?
The silkscreen print process is as follows:
Glass cutting → edging → punching → cleaning → making screen printing plates → glaze preparation → screen printing → drying → sintering → finished product
To get the effect of silkscreen print on glass, first, create a design on the screen to block the silk mesh that does not need to be printed. When the glazes ink is spread evenly by the squeegee on the screen, it will not pass through the part of the stencil. In other areas where there is no blocking, the glazes will adhere to the glass through the silk mesh to obtain a high-quality image. The image screen printing on the glass can be precise, and transparency is adjustable.
Glass is an amorphous inorganic material that softens as the temperature increases, it will deform when heated to the softening temperature. During the colored glass screen printing, each color requires a separate film design. After decorating the ink screen on the glass, sometimes they need to heat and sinter the ink to “burn” the ink onto the glass to fix the image and get a colorful decorative pattern. However, the sintering temperature must be lower than the softening temperature of the glass to be printed to make sure that the glass will not be deformed. Generally, the sintering temperature for the glass glazes should be lower than 520 ° C, usually between 480 ° C to 520 ° C.
