Digital Printing Solution // Digital Ceramic Ink

A true glass ink - i.e. designed specifically for glass printing - they contain special sub-micron glass particles and inorganic pigments, and are fused into the glass during the tempering or annealing process. This means you can create vivid, durable designs that last as long as the glass itself. You can also use these digital ceramic inks to add functionality to glass, such as for energy efficiency, solar control, and light diffusion and transmission. 

The ideal ink for ceramic printing on glass

Dip-Tech Digital Ceramic Inks were developed along with Dip-Tech Digital In-Glass Printers, ensuring efficient productivity and optimized results.
