Positive outcome from glass ink tests

Polytype claims that its Virtu Vetro ink series for UV-curable production onto glass surfaces has completed a number of performance tests, demonstrating distinction in several key performance areas.

Developed by the Swiss manufacturer for its Virtu range of wide- and superwide-format industrial printing technologies, the inks were printed onto glass panes and examined by an independent, accredited testing laboratory. A primer Virtu bond was used to pretreat the substrate, which was then printed in controlled conditions before being tested in 21 categories.
