Abstract: Described herein is a glass article comprising a glass substrate having a major surface and an opaque layer disposed on the major surface. The opaque layer comprises a photocurable ink that comprises at least 10 wt % of a pigment. The opaque layer comprises a thickness of less than or equal to 25 ?m and an optical density of greater than or equal to 4.0. After curing via exposure to curing light from an ultraviolet light (“UV”) light emitting diode (“LED”), the opaque layer exhibits: (a) a pencil hardness of greater than or equal to 3H when measured according to ASTM 3363, and (b) an adhesion to the glass substrate of greater than or equal to 4B after being subjected to a temperature of 85° C. at 95% relative humidity for a period of at least 500 hours, when tested according to ASTM 3359.

Abstract: An ultraviolet ink composition includes from 25 wt % to 50 wt % of a pigment dispersion, from greater than 0 wt % to 10 wt % of a photoinitiator package; from 10 wt % to 42 wt % of a reactive diluent; from 10 wt % to 20 wt % of a multifunctional monomer; and from 0 wt % to 25 wt % of a difunctional monomer. An ink primer includes from 2 wt % to 10 wt % of an adhesion promoter configured to bond to glass and from 90 wt % to 98 wt % of a solvent configured to promote bonding of the adhesion promoter to the glass. Another ink primer includes from 2 wt % to 10 wt % of an adhesion promoter configured to bond to glass, from greater than 0 wt % to 10 wt % of a photoinitiator package; and from 30 wt % to 45 wt % of a monofunctional monomer.

Abstract: A method of operating a three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus selects operational parameters for operation of the printer to form conductive metal traces on substrates with dimensions within appropriate tolerances and with sufficient conductive material to carry electrical currents without burning up or becoming too hot. The method identifies the material of the substrate and the bulk metal being melted for ejection and uses this identification data to select the operational parameters. Thus, the method can form conductive traces and circuits on a wide range of substrate materials including polymeric substrates, semiconductor materials, oxide layers on semiconductor materials, glass, and other crystalline materials.

Abstract: A coated article for use as a display screen for automotive displays includes a substrate that is a glass or a glass ceramic and has at least one surface, and an ETC coating bonded to the surface of the substrate by inkjet printing. A method for applying the ETC coating onto the substrate to produce the coated articles includes providing the substrate having the surface, where the substrate is a glass substrate or a glass ceramic substrate. The method further includes preparing an ETC coating composition that includes a polymer and a solvent. The viscosity of the ETC coating composition is from 2 cP to 30 cP. The method further includes inkjet printing the ETC coating composition onto the surface of the substrate and curing the ETC coating composition to produce the ETC coating. Inkjet printing increases the durability and uniformity of the ETC coating.
