A Digital Glass Decoration System

As part of Durst's ongoing research into developing new applications for large format UV inkjet printing, the company has perfected the process of printing on glass. Printed samples were shown at an exhibition and the process was also used to create an exhibition of artwork by the leading Austrian artist, Ernst Fuchs. Durst Rho Rigid ink has excellent adhesion for traditionally difficult rigid media such as glass, acrylics and polycarbonates. However, previously printed glass could only be used for indoor applications. Now, with the Digital Glass Decoration System, printed glass will withstand outdoor or wet conditions for long periods of time, as described in this article.
