From a market perspective, in 2000, the number of high-speed inkjet printers that emerged in 2000 was only 20 in the world. However, by 2010, the number of installed machines exceeded 200, showing how broad the market is. . In such a market environment, how competitive is glass digital ceramic printing technology? What is the difference between digital inkjet printing technology that is well known to the public?
It is now common for glass to be used in large buildings in the darkness of the printing industry. Energy-saving glass not only reduces building energy consumption, but also allows natural light to enter the building, allowing people inside the building to see the surrounding landscape. The sense of openness created by glass is also difficult to match with other building materials.
In fact, the digital inkjet printing technology that can be printed on ceramics, glass and other materials on the market has already developed very gratifyingly in the field of home decoration. Simply put, digital inkjet printing technology uses low-temperature UV ink inks with the advantages of low cost, high resolution and fine images. However, it also has the disadvantages of poor UV-resistance, easy scratching and peeling, and can not be used in outdoor environments. For the glass industry, after printing on the glass surface, it is no longer possible to carry out deep processing such as coating and laminating. In 2009, Zhang Yanling, the director of DIP-Tech's digital printing press introduced to China's Friends of Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., introduced high-temperature inorganic green ceramics through digital printing technology compared with traditional screen printing technology. The ink is printed on the glass, and the glass printed after tempering can be further processed, and has the advantages of anti-scratch, anti-ultraviolet, and indoor and outdoor use. This can greatly reduce costs and shorten lead times for design patterns, complex colors, and large glass sizes for different layouts, especially for large architectural glass with decorative glass façades.
From a global perspective, DIP-Tech has promoted the use of glass digital ceramic printing technology, DIP-Tech has more than 150 digital printing machines, the total printing glass area per year exceeds 1 million square meters, and the demand continues to grow.
To put forward new requirements for glass manufacturers, glass digital ceramic printing technology is a digital printing technology that uses ceramic ink directly on outdoor or indoor decorative glass. The raw material of high temperature ceramic ink is composed of ceramic powder particles. The glass is washed and then printed, and then dried at a low temperature of 150 degrees Celsius to partially evaporate the added organic solvent, and then enter a tempering furnace of 650 degrees Celsius to 720 degrees Celsius to temper the remaining inorganic ceramic powder particles of the ceramic ink. The high temperature of the furnace is completely sintered on the glass and eventually becomes part of the glass.
On the one hand, DIP-Tech's high temperature ceramic inks are required to be printed on the surface of flat glass. The glass needs to be cleaned before printing and needs to be dried after printing. This requires the glass manufacturer to establish the clean work space required for printing because the glass after cleaning And the glass sent to the drying line after printing should avoid secondary pollution.
On the other hand, the development of the entire industry requires glass manufacturers to increase the emphasis on talents with art design background, and enhance the role of one-stop services from simple production plants to design, manufacturing, manufacturing and installation. At the same time, from the perspective of national policy support, glass digital ceramic printing technology also requires the state to increase the encouragement and regulation of building practicality, energy conservation and aesthetics.
