Designed in the Group’s labs, ceramic inks for digital printing on glass is one of the areas in which Tecglass is invested with ongoing research and innovation.

This means the product range is constantly evolving and always complete in terms of special effects and hues and compatible with the most innovative kinds of glass.



High resistance to climatic stressors and humidity, excellent duration of chromatic effects over time, superior resistance to abrasion in high traffic areas and ideal adaptability to the most advanced glass coatings are just some of the features of Tecglass inks, demonstrated by exceptional results in all the tests.



The advantages of our inks:



- The most extensive range of colors available

The entire range of RAL, Pantone, NCS and many other already-formulated colors are always available, as well as unique colors that no one else can guarantee: like gold, platinum, magenta, subtle shadings and all kinds of luminous effects. Every day the Tecglass labs develop new special colors, upon request, for the most sophisticated and imaginative projects.



- Special effects for innovative projects

Metallic and anti-skid effects, conductive inks and inks integrated with nano-particles for special properties to lend unique effects to the glass.



- Adaptability to all types of glass

Tecglass inks are developed exclusively and custom-designed for use on glass, based on the needs of our clients. No matter what kind of glass you have and whatever your application, we always have the right ink for you.



- Durability and safety for automotive glass

Special formulations for this kind of application are capable of flawlessly meeting the requirements of auto manufacturers.
