You have to cure the ink, but you can&rsquo;t overstress the glass. It&rsquo;s a tricky balance. Hit it with too much heat too quickly? The ink blisters. Too little? The pattern smears or just won&rsquo;t stick once it hits the furnace. To fix this, we use infrared (IR) preheating right at the nip roller stage. It&rsquo;s the bridge that makes the whole process actually work.</p>
