4 Benefits of Using Digital Heat Transfers for Glass Decoration

Glass Decoration

Don’t waste time on old printing methods that will fade and chip away on glass products, use durable digital heat transfers instead!

Are you manufacturer or ad speciality company in search of a cost-effective method for glass decoration? Are you tired of decorating using inefficiently hazardous low fire decals? We’ve got your advanced solution – digital heat transfers. Stop utilizing outdated printing methods when the future of glass decoration is here! Let us explain the vast benefits of using digital heat transfers for glass decoration.

Lower Temperature

Temperature has always been a determining factor in the efficiency and safety of glass product decoration. High fire decals were deemed inefficient early on because they needed to be baked at nearly 1000°F for 30 minutes. Low fire decals took their place with a drastic improvement in bake time and temperature, only requiring temps between 300-400° for 20 minutes. Digital heat transfers are now here to take the place of low fire decals, since they are baked at an even safer, lower temperature of 250°!

Vibrant Images

The digital heat transfer process delivers superior quality and satisfaction in terms of product images. Nobody wants the image of their logo, brand name, barcode, or design to appear out of focus or lackluster. When your heat transfer is digital, you have the flexibility to customize your image or give your order unique identifiers before it hits the printer. When it does, it will be printed in four colors plus white – delivering an eye-catching array of more than 10,000,000 unique color options! Being printed at 1200 dpi and 266 lines per inch is what provides your digital heat transfer with an impeccably vibrant photo finish.

Durability

You know how people have a tendency to peel away the paper label on a glass beer bottle once it begins to condensate? Once that label is removed, all of the hard work the company put into raising brand awareness is diminished! The same is true for a promotional product with an image that fades or chips away at the first sign of a dishwasher. Why put all of that time and effort into decorating your product if it isn’t going to last? One of the greatest benefits of using digital heat transfers for glass decoration is their unmatched durability in terms of dishwasher-safe adhesive. Digital heat transfers adhere seamlessly to glass and various other substrates, providing you with stunning, long-lasting images.

Eco-friendly and Affordable Short Runs

Manufacturing on-demand is simply not possible using high fire and low fire decals. The digital heat transfer process is dry, efficient, and eco-friendly – making short run printing not just possible, but affordable! This is one way in which digital heat transfers soar above outdated printing methods that still waste countless hours on set-up and cleanup. Are you ready to go digital?
