Getting the Balance Right: Print Quality vs. Glass Strength in IR Tempering

When you try to temper glass right after screen-printing, you’re basically walking a tightrope. You need a very specific heat window. If you move too slowly, your ink starts to bleed or smudge, and the whole piece is ruined. But if you crank the heat too high too fast? You’re looking at thermal shock or a distorted pattern. It’s a headache. That’s why we use shortwave infrared (IR) lamps. They hit the glass with high-density energy that sinks in fast, rather than just hovering on the surface.

Getting the Heat Exactly Where You Need It

Most heating lamps just blast heat everywhere. They’re uniform. But if you’re working in glass R&D, “uniform” is usually the problem. When you’re messing around with new glass compositions or thin-film coatings, you can’t just hope for the best. You need to know exactly where the heat is hitting. That’s why we don’t just look at the size of the lamp—we look at how the power is actually spread across it.
