The digital glass printing process has been rapidly spreading as an important revolution for
over 20 years. It is used increasingly in interior architecture, glass furniture sand glass tiles,
especially in the outer shells of architectural structures. In the future, it is a candidate to be
the dominant printing method. Although there are three digital glass printing machine
manufacturers in the world; up to 1500 machines are actively used. These machines, which
20 of them in our country, stem from the fact that artists are not yet familiar with this method.
Digital printed glass surfaces are used in interior and commercial interface in our country but
intensively had started to use in America. While in Europe and America; limited amount of
artists use this technique but there is nobody yet to use in Turkey. This technique, which has
a lot of superiority compared to the alternative of Serigraphic Printing Method; provides the
artists with infinite possibilities. In this paper; methods, machines, using areas and artistic
possibilities are introduced comparatively. Experiences made with the machine at the Mimar
Sinan Fine Arts University Digital Printing Atelier and the student responses received during
the ‘Digital Printing Methods’ course for 7 years are shared.
