Abstract
A method for printing ink on a substrate comprising the steps of coating a glass substrate with an adhesion promoter, depositing one or more layers of ink on the coated substrate, and laminating the imaged substrate. The substrate can be a glass substrate, and the adhesion promoter can include a silane material, powder coating, organophosphate primer suspended in isopropanol.
Claims6
A method for printing ink on a substrate comprising:
- pretreating a glass substrate, wherein pretreating includes coating the glass substrate with an adhesion promoter, wherein the adhesion promoter is a silane material, a powder coating, or an organophosphate material, and wherein the adhesion promoter increases adhesion of an ink to the substrate;
- depositing one or more layers of ink directly on the adhesion promoting layer of the pretreated glass substrate;
- overprinting the deposited one or more layers of ink with an overcoat;
- curing the overprinted glass substrate to encapsulate the deposited one or more layers of ink;
- and
- depositing a powder coating on the overprinted substrate before curing the overprinted glass substrate, wherein the powder coating includes material selected from the group consisting of inorganic particles, organic particles, thermally activated materials, components which absorb ultraviolet radiation, and combinations thereof.
