Ceraphic screen printed toughened glass
Hansen Ceraphic is a screen printed, toughened glass designed to provide decoration, obscuration and/or light control.
HansenGlass Ceraphic is produced by screen printing. The process uses a squeegee to deposit ceramic ink through a cloth mesh which may be masked for form a pattern of ink. The ink is oven dried and the glass is then subjected to a heating a cooling cycle, during which the enamel ink is fired into the glass surface and the glass is toughened.
Glass can be passed through the screen printing process several times, allowing multiple colours and patterns to be applied to a glass panel.
