Technical and aesthetic inks for touch screens and smart surfaces
High-performance inks for modern interfaces
In the world of human-machine interfaces, intelligent tactile surfaces occupy an essential place. Used in home automation, the medical sector, intelligent buildings, embedded devices, telephony andcontrol electronics, these surfaces require inks that combine technical performance, visual precision and perfect integration.
It is to meet these challenges thatEncres DUBUIT has developed inks designed for printing on glass or rigid plastic, via
- screen printing
- digital inkjet
- pad printing
- or hybrid technologies such as spray
Smart black: custom black panel effect
Smart Surface +: built-in black tinting
One of the key features of touchscreen surfaces is theblack panel effect: this aesthetic rendering where printed areas remain invisible when the screen is switched off, with no visual break between the masking black and the natural black of the glass or plastic slab.
With Smart Surface, we develop tailor-made black inks, adapted to each substrate shade:
- opacity adjusted to the desired effect
- optimized density for backlighting
- calibrated shade for perfectly integrated black, with no stray reflections
✅ The result: no demarcation, a streamlined interface and premium perceived value.
