Abstract
A method for applying a decoration to a glass substrate comprising applying an ink composition comprising a bis phenol-A epoxy resin to the glass in a predetermined design that leaves some areas of the glass ink free, said ink being operable when cured to bond to the glass substrate, and curing the ink on the substrate by exposing it to the radiation by which it is curable thereby bonding the ink to the glass substrate.
Claims19
A method for applying a decoration to a glass substrate comprising:
- a) applying an ink composition curable by exposure to radiation having a wavelength of 4 to 600 nanometers, said ink having a viscosity of 7,000 to 25,000 centipoise at 25.degree. C., containing minimal or no VOCs, and comprising a bisphenol-A epoxy resin, to the glass substrate in a predetermined design that leaves some areas of the glass substrate ink free, using an application method selected from the group consisting of screen printing, gravure printing, offset printing, painting, and combinations thereof, said ink being operable when cured to bond to the glass substrate, and
- b) subsequently curing the ink on the substrate by exposing it to radiation having a wavelength of 4 to 600 nanometers, thereby bonding the ink to the glass substrate.
