Marabu Inks for Decorative Printing of Front Panels

Screen printing is ideal for applying decorations to input systems. This method uses either solvent-based or UV-curable inks, and enables diverse colors and effects, in combination with functional layers. This makes it well suited to decorating the reverse (second surface) of transparent plastic and glass panels for high-quality capacitive input systems. A capacitive touch screen, in contrast to its resistive equivalent, operates without the need for mechanical pressure. The screen is not built from multiple layers; instead it comprises a single plastic panel made from PMMA or PC. Moreover, the overall look-and-feel is more in line with today’s tastes.
