ABSTRACT:
Digital ink-jet glass printer for printing flat glass boards with glass based ink is disclosed, comprising; (a) horizontal support for a glass board to be printed; (b) at least one digital ink-jet printing head moveable from above the area of a glass board supported by the horizontal support by means of a respective moving mechanism, the printing head is capable of moving above the glass board and injecting glass based ink according to positioning and injecting commands received from a computer or controller; (c) ink supply system in liquid communication with the at least one printing head. Method for printing flat glass boards with glass based ink, is also disclosed, comprising; (a) providing a computer memory with image to be printed; (b) positioning a glass plate to be printed underneath at least one digital ink-jet printing head capable of receiving from the computer and accordingly executing ink jetting commands and positioning commands; (c) providing the at least one printing head with jetting and positioning commands corresponding to the image to be printed; (d) supplying to the printing head glass based ink in a substantially unified heterogenic suspension in quantities sufficient for printing the image; (e) drying or curing the image until a primary fixation is achieved sufficient for safely conveying the printed glass plate to completing the ink fixation in a furnace.
