Glass Painting and Decoration: Technologies, Applications and Advantages for Industry.
Digital printing
Inkjet technology prints high-resolution graphics directly on the glass.
Ideal for customised and intricate designs, it accommodates diverse patterns, colours, and dimensions, supporting tailored projects.
This technique minimises waste (no stencils or screens needed) and shortens lead times due to rapid set-up.
Spray coating
Spray coating applies lacquer to glass surfaces using a spray gun on coating equipment in an integrated finishing line.
This method ensures even distribution and a smooth, uniform finish—ideal for decorative glass.
Advantages include fast colour changes, a wide range of finishes, and protective features. Most importantly, it shortens production times compared to manual methods, making it suitable for large volumes.
Roller coating
In this method, paint is applied using rollers in an automated in-line process.
It ensures uniform application, particularly suited for architectural use.
This method also provides an even and controlled paint distribution, resulting in the smooth, uniform finish on the glass that is essential for architectural applications.A key benefit is the automatic edge-cleaning effect, eliminating post-coating cleaning and speeding up the tempering process.
Screen printing
This involves using a stencil (or screen) to apply ink to the glass surface.
Perfect for complex multicolour designs, screen printing suits decorative glass, signage, and artistic pieces, also because it is possible to apply multiple layers of ink, so as to obtain depth and consistency, improving the visual appeal of the finished product.
Screen inks are UV-, chemical-, and abrasion-resistant, ensuring durability and colour retention. It’s also highly versatile, applicable to various glass types—tempered, laminated, and more—making it ideal for automotive, architectural, and consumer sectors.
