Flat glass decorative printing drying process

The prints do not have to be fully dried and baked unless the decorative pattern on the glass is subjected to other treatments or glazing. The tail of the new tunneling kiln (or intermittent kiln) can be kiln-baked after drying at a temperature not exceeding 120°C. It should be noted that most of the solvents are to be dried, especially for large-format products, to avoid over-concentration of gas in the kiln.
Screen printing patterns completely dry, depending on the level of room temperature and air convection conditions, generally ranging from 1h to several hours. The drying time can be reduced to a few minutes after the compressed air is heated (up to 120°C).
