The process is relatively simple, but does require an experienced team. Mesh is stretched over a frame, and a highly accurate stencil is applied. The openings within the stencil allow the ink to pass through the mesh, which determines the the image printed. Our machines follow the same process, the substrate used in this instance is the glass product. Our printers rotate the glass at the correct speed, and pressure is applied by the squeegee which drags the ink along the screen to create the design impression upon the glass.

Etch – Currently a popular choice within the glass decoration industry, our etch inks create a wonderfully subtle, tactile finish. Ideal to offset another colour, these inks are the perfect solution for a premium product. Durable and resistant to industrial dishwashers etch inks are suitable for any industry.
Metallics – We stock and source a large range of metallic inks. From precious metal inks containing real gold, to imitation metallics. The imitation inks are the recommended types for durability and cost. The precious metals whilst durable do come at a higher cost due to the elements they contain to give a premium shine.
