Key Benefits

Design Freedom Built into the Glass

Two Printing Processes

Select ceramic or UV-cured printing based on the project requirements.

Flexible Design

Patterns, gradients, custom colors, graphics, and photographic imagery

Controlled Coverage

Control color, opacity, density, scale, and placement.

Large-Scale Layouts

Coordinate designs across individual or multiple glass panels.

PRINTING PROCESSES

Two Methods for Different Project Needs

Ceramic Digital Printing

Ceramic ink is digitally applied to the glass and permanently fused to the surface during tempering. This process creates a durable printed finish for demanding architectural applications.

Process: Prepare artwork → Print with ceramic ink → Temper and fuse

UV-Cured Digital Printing

UV-cured ink is digitally applied and cured using ultraviolet light. This process supports high-resolution, full-color designs with adjustable opacity and ink density.

Process: Prepare artwork → Print with UV-curable ink → Cure with ultraviolet light

Design Capabilities

What Can Be Printed on Glass?

Create a custom design, submit existing artwork, or select from more than 200 available images across 10 categories.

Patterns & Textures

Gradients & Coverage

Custom Colors & Graphics

Photographic & Detailed Imagery

Frit-Style & Screening Patterns

Note: Final color, opacity, and appearance vary with the artwork, ink coverage, glass type, and viewing conditions. Approve a physical sample before production.

Applications

Where Can DecoGlass Add Value?

Privacy & Visual Screening

Branding & Identity

Wayfinding & Communication

Interior Features

Exterior & Building Applications

Color Options

Color Tailored to the Project

DecoGlass offers custom solid colors, gradients, and coordinated finishes through digitally printed and back-painted options. Custom colors and RAL matching can support surrounding materials, interior palettes, and brand standards.

Final appearance can vary with the selected process, glass type, ink coverage, opacity, lighting, and viewing conditions. Approval samples are available and recommended before production.

PGS Project Support

From Design Intent to Fabricated Glass

PGS helps project teams coordinate artwork, glass selection, sampling, fabrication, and production from early design through finished panels.

DecoGlass Printing FAQs

What is digital ceramic printing on glass?

Digital ceramic printing applies artwork directly to glass using ceramic inks. During tempering, the ink fuses permanently to the glass surface to create a durable architectural finish.

How is ceramic printing different from UV printing?

UV inks cure on the glass surface using ultraviolet light. Ceramic inks are heat-treated and fused to the glass during tempering, creating a more permanent finish intended for architectural durability.

Can DecoGlass provide privacy?

Yes. Pattern scale, spacing, gradients, and ink coverage can be adjusted to obscure views or create different levels of visual screening. The design should be evaluated against the project’s actual privacy requirement.

What types of designs can be printed?

DecoGlass can produce patterns, gradients, custom colors, detailed graphics, photographic imagery, branding, wayfinding elements, and solid-color coverage.

Can photographs and custom artwork be printed?

Yes. Detailed graphics, custom artwork, and photographic imagery can be reproduced when the source file, glass selection, color treatment, and print coverage are appropriate for the intended result.

Will printed colors look exactly like they do on screen?

Not necessarily. Glass composition, ink coverage, lighting, viewing side, and digital displays can affect perceived color. A physical sample is recommended when color accuracy is important.

How are colors and samples approved?

PGS coordinates artwork and project samples so the design team can review color, coverage, scale, and overall appearance before production.

Can artwork continue across multiple glass panels?

Yes. Multi-panel designs can be coordinated, but accurate glass dimensions, panel orientation, fabrication details, print placement, and installation sequence must be established early.

What artwork files are required for custom printing?

Vector files are generally preferred for patterns, logos, linework, and text. High-resolution raster files may be used for photographs or detailed imagery. PGS will confirm the approved file format, resolution, color information, scale, and panel layout before production.

Can printed glass be modified after tempering?

Final cutting, drilling, notching, and edgework should be completed before tempering. Tempered glass generally cannot be cut or altered afterward.
