Photo printing on glass is one of the most popular ways of decorating
various glass surfaces today. Photo printing allows you to apply any full-color
image on the entire glass or on its part, which makes it possible to decorate
the glass surface with an attractive pattern. There are several glass photo printing technologies
Photo printing with a thin polymer films is one of the oldest. This
technology involves applying a color image on special films and then attaching
these films to the back side of glass products. As a result, the image is
reliably protected from the effects of various external factors: light,
moisture, temperature.
Glass photo printing with the help of films is already somewhat outdated
technology. Direct glass printing is more popular today. This technology is
called UV printing. The technology of glass UV printing is similar to the
technology of printing on paper using a conventional inkjet printer, though it
is not sheets of paper that are “painted”, but glass.
The basis of this printing technology is the ability of special inks to
harden under the influence of ultraviolet. After hardening, the paints will no
longer be washed off, worn off and scratched. The main feature of glass UV-printing
technology is the ability to apply high-definition images on the glass.
No matter which method of glass photo printing was chosen, the glass
surface decorated with color printing becomes more aesthetically appealing,
which is successfully used for advertising as well as image purposes. For
example, glass decorated with photo printing in a shop window can serve to
attract customers, and photo printing on glass doors in the office will help
increase the popularity of the company's brand.
Photo printing can now be performed not only on glass but also on a mirror
- this gives even more unique opportunities for truly individual design of the
premises of offices, houses or apartments. Thus, a wall or floor mirror, mirror
facades of the closet compartment, mirror doors, etc. can be decorated with
photo printing.
Giovani Glass is using various technologies of glass photo printing in the
manufacture of glass structures: interior doors, partitions, shower doors, etc.
