Digital Printing

Customers of RGC can create unique architectural and interior projects in color with the maximum degree of individualization.

Digital printing on glass at RGC is a unique technology that allows you to reproduce any design or images of any format (including jumbo) on glass in the highest HD quality. The image is applied with ceramic sintered ink, resistant to any external impacts. If you already have an image that you would like to print on glass, our designer will check if it complies with the printing requirements.

The Spectrum range is for use in architecture and vehicle areas. The whole palette of colors according to the RAL scale. Printing of photorealistic images, graphics, painting, and imitation of natural materials.

The Etch range - to achieve a variety of glass etching effects in color and texture. Opal glass with a typical roughness. The drawing can be white or colored. Provides varying degrees of privacy, light diffusion and is ideal for sun protection.

The Anti-Slip range - anti-slip effect on glass. Complies with the highest requirements of architectural and industrial anti-slip coatings. They have excellent mechanical, chemical and UV stability. They can be colorless, transparent, colored or patterned.

Production Process Technology:

The file with the finished image in the graphic editor is converted into files ready for printing. With the help of special digital technology, the image is applied to the glass directly from the file without screen printing. The painted glass is dried and then tempered/heat-strengthened. During the tempering process, ceramic ink is burned into the glass surface and does not require additional protection.
