Ceramic ink screen printed glass cover, is the high-temperature ceramic ink printed on the glass, after 680-720 ℃ high-temperature instantaneous baking and instantaneous cooling of the physical strengthening of the fusion with the glass as a whole, to achieve the color in the glass is very strong adhesion and durability, withstand years of sunlight, and have a certain degree of resistance to the corrosion of the atmosphere. Very suitable for outdoor environment, no color change, no deinking.
