You’re stuck between a rock and a hard place: you need enough heat to cure the ink and kill the internal stress in the glass, but one wrong move with the temperature and your crisp edges start to bleed or the whole piece warps. It&rsquo;s a balancing act. To fix this, we use short-wave infrared (IR) lamps. The trick here is that they hit the surface layer hard without soaking the entire slab of glass in heat.</p>
