Printing on Glass

Marking solutions have high importance in a wide range of industries, including those that require printing on glass products. Although each industry and company have their own unique challenges, there are still many qualities that are common. 

Glass part marking is used for identification and traceability. At Linx, we offer a range of printing technologies for coding and marking on both wet and dry glass. Whether you require an indelible identification code or one that can be removed before re-use, Linx has the product identification glass marking solution for you.

Benefits of Glass Printing

• Digital printing offers a considerable cost advantage over analogue. Low set-up requirements allow short production runs making a production line economical.
• Inks used for glass printing often require flushing and recirculation after use, to prevent sedimentation and print head blocking. Linx has specialised inks for certain applications making them work for different industries and preventing downtime. Our CIJ machines are built with an auto-cleaning system for the print head, minimising the mess and downtime.
• Linx printers are easily integrable into your production line, coding and marking at variable speeds. Our machines are also able to mark flat and curved surfaces without direct contact which is a unique advantage.
