Unveil Creativity with Digital Print on Glass
Digital printing on glass opens new possibilities for architectural expression, branding, and functional design. From subtle patterns to bold imagery, digital print allows you to transform glass into a highly customizable design element without compromising performance.
What Is Digital Printing on Glass and How Does It Work?
Digital print works similarly to an advanced office printer but is specifically engineered to print directly onto glass using ceramic inks. The printer uses six base colors and blends them to reproduce virtually any graphic, pattern, or image.
Once the design is printed, the glass undergoes heat treatment (tempering or heat strengthening). During this process, the ceramic ink fuses permanently into the surface of the glass, making it highly durable, and suitable for architectural applications.
What Can Be Printed?
Nearly anything you can imagine. From standard patterns, such as dots and linear designs, to sophisticated custom artwork. Digital print supports:
- Full-color images and photography,
- Logos and branding across multiple glass panels,
- Smooth gradients spanning entire façades,
- Complex, multi-layered or semi-transparent graphics.
Print quality reaches up to 1410 DPI, allowing for precise detail and sharp imagery. Our Digital Print Technician can provide file specifications and review your artwork to ensure optimal results. The maximum size available is 126″ x 236″.
Can Digital Print Be Used in Laminated or Insulated Glass Units?
Yes. Digitally printed glass can be incorporated into both laminated glass and insulated glass units (IGUs).
For IGUs, digital print can be applied to surface #2, #3, or #4, depending on project requirements and glass configuration. Digital print should not face the exterior, as it is not intended for direct exposure to weather conditions.
Printed glass can also be used as monolithic interior glass, making it ideal for applications such as:
- Frameless glass doors,
- Balustrades,
- Partitions and decorative panels.
Why Consider Digital Print?
Digital print offers both aesthetic and functional advantages:
- Design Freedom – create truly unique façades and interiors with customized graphics that elevate and personalize any space.
- Light & Visual Control – printed patterns can reduce light transmission while maintaining comfort and visual connection for occupants.
- Bird-Friendly Solutions – strategically designed patterns can help prevent bird collisions, supporting safer, more sustainable buildings.
- Safety & Visibility – subtle visual markers on interior glass help prevent accidental walk-ins without disrupting the overall design.
