Ceramic inkjet inks for non-porous substrates (such as glass, metals) whereby the viscosity of the inks at the jetting temperature of 33-50° C. is 8-20 mPa.s and increase substantially to more than a factor of 5 (greater than 100 mPa.s) after landing on the substrate. The invention also relates to processing/formulating steps and tuning of the bulk and dynamic properties suitable for (i) inkjet printing in the printhead channel and (ii) desirable high viscosity after landing on the glass substrate. The ink comprises: Glass Frit composition which is in the form of particles having a volume particle size distribution Dv90 of less than 1.5 μm, carriers (30-50 wt %) and additives (0-10%). The ceramic ink mitigate ink splattering, spreading during and after landing, eliminate/reduce image defects because of dust contaminations from the environment on wet inks after printing

A graphics adaptation method for printable ceramic supports. Images are printed on sample ceramic supports starting from an original image file. A sample printed image is acquired. Sample points representative of the sample image are selected. Original points present in the original image file are also selected. A point-based matching is sought between the sample points and the original points, on the basis of which the original image file is modified and an adapted image file is determined, thus adapting the graphics of the original image file to the graphics of the sample image. A graphics adaptation system based on the method is also described.

A fired ceramic article including a screen printed layer of primer on a portion of the fired ceramic body. The thickness of the primer layer is less than 25 microns. A machine-readable code is laser marked onto the screen printed layer of primer. Methods of marking a ceramic article are also provided.

A process for etching glass includes: loading a piece of glass on a flatbed digital printer; applying a selected pre-coat solution to the glass to prevent the ink from permanently adhering to the glass; printing a mask having a selected pattern on the glass with the digital printer; sandblasting the masked glass; stripping away the mask from the glass to reveal the etched glass; and cleaning any residual mask and/or pre-coat solution from the glass.

The present invention is provided with a base electrode layer forming step of forming a base electrode layer by applying and sintering a conductive paste on an end surface of the thermistor element, an oxide layer forming step of forming an oxide layer on a surface of the base electrode layer, a cover electrode layer forming step of forming a cover electrode layer by applying and sintering a conductive paste on a surface of the oxide layer, and a conduction heat treatment step of performing a heat treatment such that the base electrode layer and the cover electrode layer are electrically conductive, in which the electrode portion having the base electrode layer and the cover electrode layer is formed and a plating step of forming a metal plating layer on a surface of the cover electrode layer is provided after the conduction heat treatment step.

A printed board, a screen-printing ink, and a screen-printing method are provided. The printed board comprises a printed pattern and/or printed line which comprises a polymer binder and a fluorine-based surfactant, has excellent thickness uniformity and straightness, has no edge top defect, and is not damaged even when formed on a repeatedly folded substrate.

A laminated vehicle glass has an outer glass, an intermediate layer arrangement, an inner glass, a first color carrier and a second color carrier. The outer glass is at least partly adhesively bonded to the inner glass via the intermediate layer arrangement. The first color carrier is formed as a print with a first printing ink on the inner side of the outer glass. The second color carrier is formed as a print with a printing ink or as a film and has a second color. The second color carrier is provided in at least some regions on the side of the first color carrier that faces away from the outer glass. The first color and second color are different, at least in some regions. The second color is provided in a frame-like region of the laminated vehicle glass.
