Getting the Heat Right for Silk-Screened Glass

When you’re mixing silk-screen printing with glass tempering, you’re basically walking a tightrope. You need enough heat to get the glass hard and strong, but if you push too hard, you’ll fry the ink or warp your patterns. It’s a delicate balance. To handle this, we rely on short-wave quartz lamps. Here is how we actually make them work in the real world.

The Balancing Act

It all comes down to how much power you’re hitting the glass with. If your lamps are too aggressive, you’ll see the ink start to “bleed” at the edges, which ruins the whole look. We fix this by playing with the voltage and shifting the distance between the lamp and the glass. Now, you might be tempted to just crank up the voltage to get more heat, but be careful. That puts a lot of stress on the filament. If your power supply doesn’t match the lamp’s rating, you’re just asking for a burnout.
