PRINTEDGLASS
Why printed glass is so widely used?
Printed glass products have become a versatile and highly sought-after material in contemporary architecture and interior design due to their unique combination of aesthetic appeal, functional benefits, and durability. In summary, printed glass is a powerful tool for architects and designers, offering a unique blend of aesthetic innovation, practical functionality, and long-term performance that elevates the potential of glass in almost any application.
Unparalleled Design Freedom & Customization
Unlimited Aesthetics: Printed glass allows for virtually any image, pattern, graphic, logo, texture, or color to be permanently applied to the glass surface. This means architects and designers have unprecedented freedom to realize complex visions that would be impossible with traditional glass or other materials.
Visual Impact:It transforms ordinary glass into a dynamic design element, creating stunning visual effects, adding depth, and making a bold statement. This is ideal for branding, artistic installations, or creating a unique identity for a space.
Matching and Branding:Companies can print specific colors, textures, or their brand logos directly onto glass partitions, facades, or doors, ensuring perfect continuity and sophisticated branding throughout a building.
Enhanced Functionality and Performance
Privacy Control: The opacity of the print can be varied, offering different levels of privacy without completely blocking light. This is valuable for office partitions, bathroom doors, or exterior facades where visual screening is desired.
Light Diffusion and Glare Reduction: Printed patterns can diffuse natural light, reducing harsh glare and creating a softer, more comfortable interior environment, while still allowing light penetration.
Solar Shading: Specific patterns and densities of print can be used on exterior glass to control solar heat gain, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning and contributing to energy efficiency.
Safety and Wayfinding: Printed patterns can serve as visual markers to prevent collisions (e.g., on large transparent glass panels) or even add anti-slip textures for glass flooring and stair treads. They can also incorporate wayfinding elements.
Concealment: Similar to spandrel glass, printed glass can be used to hide unsightly structural elements or mechanical systems behind a decorative or patterned surface on building facades.
Exceptional Durability and Longevity
Permanent Application: When ceramic frit inks are used (a common method for architectural applications), they are fused into the glass surface during a high-temperature tempering or heat-strengthening process. This makes the print an integral part of the glass itself.
Resistance to Fading and Scratches: This fusion makes the print incredibly durable, highly resistant to scratching, abrasions, UV fading, moisture, and harsh cleaning agents, far outperforming applied films or painted surfaces.
Weather Resistance: Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, printed glass withstands extreme temperature fluctuations and environmental conditions without degradation of the print.
Versatility Across Applications
Architectural Facades: Creating unique, visually striking building exteriors.
Interior Divisions: Stylish and functional partitions, doors, and wall cladding in commercial and residential spaces.
Balustrades and Railings:Adding decorative elements to safety barriers.
Shower Enclosures and Backsplashes: Durable, easy-to-clean, and customizable surfaces for wet areas.
Signage and Art Installations: Permanent, high-quality graphics for both functional and artistic purposes.

OUR PROCESS
OUR PROCESS
Millet Glass Industry offers advanced printed glass, transforming designs into stunning, durable architectural elements through screen-printed patterns and high-resolution digital printed graphics.
Millet Glass Industry leads the way in glass innovation by transforming ordinary glass panels into extraordinary design elements through its advanced printing processes. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and a deep understanding of ceramic inks, Millet provides architects and designers with unparalleled flexibility and lasting durability for a wide range of applications. Millet Glass Industry primarily employs two methods for printing on glass, screen and digital printing.
Screen-Printing
Screen-Printing
Design Transfer: This established technique begins with a meticulously crafted design that is transferred onto a fine mesh screen. This screen acts as a stencil, allowing ceramic ink to pass only through the desired areas, creating the pattern or graphic. Millet's expertise allows for complex and customized patterns, whether printed via a roller system or a mesh frame.
Ink Application: The ceramic ink, composed of finely ground glass particles and inorganic pigments, is uniformly applied onto the glass surface. This can be done on large formats.
Thermal Fusion: Following ink application, the glass undergoes a crucial thermal treatment process, either tempering or heat-strengthening. During this high-temperature firing (typically 600-700°C), the ceramic frit permanently fuses with the glass substrate. This fusion creates an incredibly durable, scratch-resistant, and fade-proof design that becomes an integral part of the glass itself, ensuring its longevity even when exposed to harsh weather conditions.

Digital Printing
Digital Printing
Direct-to-Glass Printing: Millet Glass Industry utilizes state-of-the-art digital printing technology, akin to an inkjet printer, but on a grand scale. High-resolution digital images, graphics, or patterns are directly jetted onto the glass surface using specialized ceramic inks. This eliminates the need for physical screens, offering immense design freedom and rapid turnaround times.
Unrivaled Detail and Color: Millet's digital printing boasts exceptional precision, capable of resolutions up to 1440 DPI (dots per inch). This allows for the reproduction of photorealistic images, intricate details, subtle gradients, and an infinite range of colors, directly from digital files.
Large Format Capability: Our digital printing lines can accommodate exceptionally large glass panels, reaching impressive dimensions, enabling ambitious large-scale architectural designs.
Permanent Fusion: Similar to screen printing, after the digital ink application, the glass is put through a tempering or heat-strengthening furnace. This thermal process permanently fuses the ceramic inks to the glass, making the printed image highly resistant to UV rays, chemicals, abrasion, and extreme weather, ensuring its vibrancy and integrity for the lifetime of the installation.

THERMAL TREATMENTS
THERMAL TREATMENTS
Millet Glass Industry ensures the ultimate durability of its printed glass through essential thermal treatments, offering tempering and heat-strengthening to permanently fuse designs and enhance strength.
Millet Glass Industry sets the standard for printed glass durability and longevity through its sophisticated thermal treatment processes. Whether clients choose intricate screen-printed designs or high-resolution digital printed graphics, Millet ensures these artistic and functional elements are permanently integrated into the glass, capable of withstanding demanding environments. At the heart of Millet's printed glass offering are two critical thermal treatments:

Benefits of Tempering printed Glass
The Fusion Process: After ceramic inks are precisely applied to the glass surface, the panels enter Millet's advanced tempering furnaces. Here, they are heated to extremely high temperatures (around 650°C or 1200°F). At this point, the ceramic inks, which are essentially finely ground glass particles, melt and permanently fuse with the glass substrate. This creates an inseparable bond, making the printed design an integral part of the glass itself.
Enhanced Durability: This fusion process results in a print that is incredibly resilient. It is highly resistant to scratching, abrasion, fading from UV exposure, and damage from chemicals and harsh weather conditions, ensuring the design's vibrancy lasts for the lifetime of the building.
Superior Strength and Safety: Simultaneously, the rapid cooling (quenching) in the tempering process induces high compression on the glass surface, making it four to five times stronger than annealed glass. This enhanced strength allows Millet's printed glass to withstand greater impacts and thermal stresses. Should breakage occur, the glass shatters into small, relatively harmless granular pieces, classifying it as a safety glass, ideal for facades, railings, and other high-traffic areas.

Benefits of Heat-Strengthening printed Glass
Controlled Strengthening: Millet also offers heat-strengthening as a thermal treatment for printed glass. This process involves heating the glass to similar high temperatures as tempering, but with a slower, controlled cooling rate.
Permanent Print Integration: Just as with tempering, this heat cycle permanently fuses the ceramic inks to the glass surface, guaranteeing the same exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors for the printed design.
Increased Thermal Resistance: Heat-strengthening provides glass that is approximately twice as strong as annealed glass, with significantly improved resistance to thermal stress. While it does not achieve the same safety breakage characteristics as fully tempered glass (breaking into larger, less hazardous pieces), it is often preferred in applications where reduced spontaneous breakage due to nickel sulfide inclusions is a primary concern.
