UV printing on glass
How glass printing works
Glass is completely non-porous, so the ink needs help to hold. We prepare the surface and use an adhesion primer before printing. This step is why some cheap glass prints scratch off with a fingernail, and why we always do it.
Like acrylic, glass is usually printed on the back face with the image reversed, then backed with white. The printed side then faces the wall or the inside of the frame, where nothing touches it.

Frequently asked questions
Is printed glass safe in a kitchen or bathroom?
A back-printed panel installed with the printed side to the wall is fine in a dry kitchen. Avoid places where the printed face gets constant water or heat, such as directly behind a stove.
Glass or acrylic: which should I choose?
Acrylic is lighter, does not shatter and can be cut to any shape, so it suits gifts, frames and anything shipped. Glass feels heavier and more premium, and suits awards and fixed installations.
Can you print on round items like bottles, mugs and tumblers?
Our printer is a flatbed, built for flat items and items with a flat face. Before you order round items, call or email us with a photo and the size of the item and we will tell you whether we can print it well. We would rather say no than print it badly.
