Printed appliance component

An appliance component, comprising:

• a glass substrate having an operational front side that faces a user and an operational back side that faces an inside of the appliance, the glass substrate being made of thermally tempered flat glass;
• a coating only on the operational back side, wherein the coating comprises at least two coatings, wherein the at least two coatings comprise an intrinsically colored adhesion promoting layer adjacent to the operational back side and an organic color layer applied to the adhesion promoting layer, wherein the organic color layer is a digitally printed layer having a polymer matrix and a colorant;
• wherein the adhesion promoting layer comprises a polymer matrix with functional groups for bonding to the glass substrate, and wherein the adhesion promoting layer is between the glass substrate and the organic color layer;
• wherein the adhesion promoting layer has a transmittance of at least 80% for a light wavelength range between 380-780 nm at a layer thickness in a range of between 1-5 μm, and wherein the organic color layer is viewable through the adhesion promotor layer and through the glass substrate, from the operational front side of the glass substrate with a mean color coordinate shift ΔE caused by the adhesion promoting layer that is <15 for a color blue, is <5 for a color red, and is <6 for a color green, and
• wherein:
• (a) the adhesion promoting layer comprises a copolymer containing the following monomer units:
• wherein R1 is an aromatic residue, R2 is an aliphatic residue or an aliphatic acid, R3 is hydrogen or a methyl group, and R4 is an aliphatic or aromatic residue;
• or
• (b) the polymer matrix of the adhesion promoter promoting layer is crosslinked by Si—O—Si bonds and carbon-carbon bonds.
