    When printing patterns or text information on glass, have you ever thought about what ink is added to the ink system of the glass printer? Is this ink the same as ordinary ink? Today we will uncover this mystery.
    In fact, most of the inks used for screen printing on glass surfaces are UV glass inks and water-based glass inks, which provide excellent adhesion and durability on glass. The curing of UV inks depends on the level of UV energy. Dark inks dry slowly and require high-energy UV. The opposite is true for light-colored inks. Compared with other inks, it cures quickly, is corrosion-resistant, and has good scratch resistance. It can achieve high-definition patterns and texts, and it is not easy to blur or fade after long-term use. Water-based inks are non-toxic, odorless, more environmentally friendly, cheap, stable, and have strong adhesion. In glass mechanical printing, the screen can be directly cleaned with water, which is convenient and operator-friendly.
    In short, when choosing glass printing inks, factors such as the printing effect, durability, and environmental protection of glass products should be considered to ensure printing quality and safety. If you are interested in glass inks and glass printing machines, please feel free to consult.
