Fully automatic flat glass screen printing machine is suitable for single-color and multi-color printing of various automotive glass, decorative glass, sliding door glass, furniture glass, solar energy, architectural engineering glass, etc.

1. Setting up the Printing Machine

Screen Mounting: The prepared screen is mounted onto the flat glass screen printing machine, ensuring it is properly aligned.

Ink Selection: The appropriate ink is chosen based on the application. In the case of flat glass, specialized inks such as ceramic, UV, or solvent-based inks are used, depending on the required durability and design.

Glass Positioning: The glass panel is positioned on the printing bed of the machine. Automatic machines often have vacuum suction tables or clamps to hold the glass in place.

2. Printing Process

Ink Application: The chosen ink is applied to the top of the screen.

Squeegee Movement: A squeegee is used to press the ink through the open mesh areas of the screen and onto the glass surface. The machine can be manually operated, semi-automatic, or fully automatic, depending on production needs.

Repeat for Multicolor Prints: If the design involves multiple colors, each color is printed using a separate screen. The screens need to be aligned precisely (registration) to ensure accurate color placement.

3. Drying or Curing the Ink

Drying/Curing: After printing, the glass passes through a drying or curing system. This could involve:

UV Curing: For UV inks, which harden under UV light.

Heat Curing: For ceramic or solvent-based inks, the glass is typically passed through a drying oven to ensure the ink fully adheres to the surface.

Air Drying: For some applications, air drying may be sufficient, though this is less common in industrial settings.

1. Automotive Industry

Car Windows and Windshields: Screen printing is used to print functional elements such as defrosting grids, shading bands, logos, and markings on car windows and windshields.

Side Mirrors: Decorative and functional printing, including heating elements and branding, is applied to automotive mirrors.

2. Architecture and Construction

Decorative Glass Panels: Buildings often use screen-printed glass panels with intricate designs for facades, windows, or interior partitions. This can include frosted patterns, logos, or colored designs.

Solar Control Glass: Special coatings or patterns are printed onto glass to manage light transmission, glare, or heat in architectural applications, such as in office buildings or conservatories.

3. Appliance Industry

Oven Doors and Panels: Screen printing is used for printing temperature-resistant designs, icons, and functional markings on oven doors and control panels.

Refrigerator and Microwave Panels: Printed designs on glass doors or control panels enhance the visual appeal of kitchen appliances and provide necessary instructions or indicators.
