Glass is the most demanding substrate in UV printing: smooth, hard and non-absorbent, it gives the ink nothing to grip. Marabu developed Primer P5 precisely for this substrate.

  • Designed for glass: markedly better adhesion of UV inks, in digital and screen printing.
  • Versatile: depending on the ink, better adhesion on metals, lacquered surfaces and plastics too.
  • Fits your production: by cloth, by spray gun, or by a spray nozzle built into the machine.
  • Ethanol-based: a formula that is easier to handle than primers based on aromatic solvents.

● ● ●  The premium substrate

Glass: a premium look, a difficult grip

Bottles, drinking glasses, trophies, decorative panels: glass instantly gives a UV print a premium look. But its surface is closed and perfectly smooth, and the slightest fingerprint or trace of grease makes the ink bead up.

P5 prepares the surface and strengthens the bond between the glass and the UV ink layer. Depending on the ink used, it also improves adhesion on metals, lacquered surfaces and plastics.

● ● ●  Application

Three ways to apply it, one rule

1

One-offs and short runs

By cloth

A thin layer over the whole surface, with a clean, lint-free cloth.

2

Runs and large surfaces

By spray gun

Spraying for an even film on larger volumes, in a ventilated booth.

3

Industrial production

In-machine nozzle

The primer can be sprayed directly within the printing line, through a nozzle mounted on the machine.

The rule

A dry substrate, free of grease and fingerprints; apply, wait briefly, print. And always validate on a sample before a run.

● ● ●  Going further

Dishwasher-safe glassware

For glassware that has to withstand the dishwasher, Marabu pairs P5 with its Ultra Jet DUV-C UV ink, designed for direct printing on packaging and containers. Depending on the specification, additional glass pre-treatment (flame treatment or silicatisation) may be needed. Preliminary trials remain essential — we can set them up with you.
