Digital Printing on MPE Interlayers

The only limit is your imagination – whether you’re looking for an eye-catching shop-front, elegant office partition or quirky kitchen splashback.

Overview

MPE® Printed Interlayers for laminated glass are suitable for modern architecture that requires the highest durability and performance.

MPE® Printed Interlayer is a new decorative glass solution, which enables the production of dramatic designs and lifelike photographic images in a laminated security and safety glass.

Digital Printed Glass allows you to recreate an image, photograph logo or any other type of imagery into a safety glass panel. High resolution digital printers use specialized printing method the required image straight onto a MPE interlayer.

This interlayer is then laminated between two pieces of glass in the same way as a standard lamination creating a decorative glass panel.

Dye Sublimation Transfer Print

The images are recreated within the glass unit at up to 1440 dpi for a clear, high resolution quality image. These specialised interlayer printers offer a rich palette of colours to recreate any design or colour scheme wanted.

By integrating the image within a glass panel rather than printing it on the surface you have an increased protection against fading. With the digital printed interlayer protected by two pieces of glass you are stopping the two main causes of fading from affecting the print; pollutants and tests performed on digitally printed interlayers show that the image has life longevity of at least 10 years.

Innovation & Quality
  • Our printed MPE product range consists of various colour options, therefore architectural glass manufacturers won’t have a hard time creating a coloured glass architectural design. The printed inserts can be implemented in a variety of applications in interior and exterior. Think of designs for kitchen and bathroom, onyx designs, solar panels, partition walls and monuments (statues, headstones and gravestones) Moreover, the product can be used in pretty much any building construction such as private homes, hotels, hospitals, airports, schools, restaurants, and offices.
  • MPE print is especially suitable for exterior applications. SGG has several lightfastness test reports (= total light spectrum, not only UV) at disposal, where MPE is tested with various interlayers. If you have an exterior project, we are happy to share the test results.
  • The effects which can be created with MPE are:
    Photographs in glass;
    Vector generated designs;
    Solid colours to exactly match the interior or exterior;
    Gradients colours to exactly match the interior or exterior.

    The new MPE
    product combines the printing technology with the PriWatt® PDLC-technology on switchable glass. As result, the image is visible on both sides in the same intensity in both opaque and transparent state of the PDLC.To create more depth in the coloured glass architecture, a 3D-effect can also be created. As the MPE inserts are transparent applying an opaque or reflective layer on side 4 (back side) of the laminate and a 3D-effect is created.
