This invention describes a way to print designs onto glass. It involves first preparing the glass surface by coating it with a special material like a silane, a powder coating, or an organophosphate to help the ink stick better. Then, one or more layers of ink, potentially white ink or applied using an inkjet printer, are deposited onto the prepared glass, and the entire piece is then laminated.
Why it matters: Filed before industrial inkjet printing on glass became highly precise and cost-effective. Advances in inkjet technology and specialized ink formulations since 2015 could make this method more viable for decorative or functional glass.
