What is Ceramic Printed Glass ?
Ceramic Printed glass also called Silk Screened glass has gained wide-spread for decoration and masking on building interior and exterior facades. Ceramic printing on glass is done with special enamels which are applied to glass before it is tempered. During the heating process in tempering or bending, this enamel fuses into the glass and becomes a monolithic construction. This is as permanent as any printed ceramic like crockery at your home and all technical characteristics are same as that of unprinted glass. It is life long and does not deteriorate with weather, detergents, normal acids or alkali. The methods of applying these enamels before tempering are roller coating, screen printing, spray printing & direct on glass digital printing.

Methods of Applying enamel
roller coating
It is the best for printing solid colors and for applying only one color.
screen printing with ceramic frit
It is suitable for solid colors and normal patterns like dots, squares, checks or lines in single color with repetitive designs.
Ceramic digital printing
It is better suited when the printing design varies or changes from glass and the final effect required is one large image achieved by tiling of various glasses to make one continuous image.
Enameling
Enameled glass is a color coated glass which is made by coating an opaque layer of special paint on the surface of glass by roller coating process and then baking it to a temperature of about 300°c.
