ESMA Academy - Inkjet Applications: Glass

, ESMA

Inkjet on glass

Whether hollow, flat or functional – glass is an indispensable part of our lives and surprises with ever new applications. Building architecture, interior decor, automotive glass, beverage and cosmetic containers, drinking glasses and tableware – each of them requires different expertise and customised solutions. Through years of evolution and innovation inkjet printing has become a trusted decoration technology for various glass types. ESMA Academy explains and reviews inkjet’s strengths such as sustainable output, personalisation capabilities, precision and quality properties. We discuss the current limits of the technology and dive deep into considerations around pre-treatment methods, ink formulations, print system architecture and colour management.

Comprehensive content

Where does surface tension come from? How long will pre-treatment last? How to achieve stronger ink adhesion? Which printhead will best match my substrate’s shape? Frit or UV inks? Infrared, UV-LED or UV Mercury? The course starts with a thorough overview of inkjet chemistry and physics. During lab-based sessions participants experiment with pre-treatment methods, ink characterisation, print parameters, ink delivery systems, drying and curing mechanisms, print quality, drop and colour management. The last part demonstrates problem solving and points to best practices, shows influential market drivers and latest industry patents, opens room for final discussions and makes sure that no questions are left unanswered.

Who should attend

Whether you have already implemented inkjet in your operation or you are just at the beginning of the journey, ESMA Academy will walk you through all the steps towards a highly efficient decoration process. We invite glassmakers, decorators, packaging manufacturers, OEMs, suppliers, brand owners and all impacted by the digital shift to take advantage from this course. Prepared and run by leading print technology experts, it delivers the know-how necessary for investment, transformation and integration decisions.
