Printed Glass Using Ceramic Inks

VisionInk^® is a state of the art glass printing technology from Glasshape^® available in Fiji though Island Glass & Mirror. It ushers in a new era of possibilities in designing with glass. Ultra-durable ceramic inks that are indelibly bonded into the glass significantly extend the possibilities for this remarkable substrate. With or without curves, VisionInk^® can turn plain balustrading, partitioning or windows into stunning works of art, and offers a genuine alternative to building envelope applications.

Digital ceramic glass printing is a design process used to fuse ceramic ink images into glass products. Digital printing typically requires high-level image processing software built into a glass printer, but the quality of different printers can vary widely.

Glasshape’s products are capable of producing a comprehensive range of ceramic printed glass images, and can be customized to fit numerous different applications.

Glasshape’s VisionInk^® digital ceramic ink printer is the most advanced and versatile glass-printing machine available. Combining it with Glasshape’s TemperShield^®  glass-curving capabilities makes it ideal for both interior and exterior architectural and transportation glass applications, as well as incredible point-of-sale displays.

VisionInk’s image-processing software and high-tech glass printer go far beyond the capabilities of standard screen and UV glass printing to provide much greater opportunity, flexibility and quality. VisionInk^® is capable of producing graphic designs with thousands of possible colours in 720dpi resolution.

Once they’ve been toughened, the ceramic inks become part of the printed glass itself, giving them unmatched resistance to scratching, UV light and weather deterioration.
