The technology supports a wide range of designs, from photos and line art to multi-colored images, suitable for windows, curtain walls, and partitions.

Capabilities
Alice™ offers customization for almost any application, printing on glass of various sizes and thicknesses. It can create panels with consecutive designs and supports thousands of shades and opacities. Special effects include acid etching, color gradients, and Double Vision, which displays different images on each side of the glass.

Durability and Quality
The printed glass is permanent, weather-resistant, and easy to clean, with a 10-year warranty. Digital accuracy ensures realistic reproduction of artwork, with edge-to-edge printing and a highly trained staff ensuring quality.

Speed and Cost

Applications
Alice™ can print a wide range of images, patterns, and textures, including black and white, multi-color, family portraits, landscapes, and more. It supports various artistic styles and can incorporate text, logos, and brand patterns.

Technical Specifications
The technology supports up to 360 dpi resolution, using ceramic enamel frit ink in various colors. It can handle glass sizes from 3” x 12” to 84” x 144” and thicknesses from 5/32” to 3/4”. The printing speed is up to 100 square yards per hour, with infrared drying and no need for films or screens.
