Hi,
I want to screen print some glass and am looking for the process they originally used for the mirror (silvered) portion of the glass.
Thanks,
Jeff

they do the mirrored areas first
Then print it dark to light colors with white being printed over all printed layers
they also apply a clear film over the whole glass.

Do you have an idea how they applied it?

I would say they do it just like when a mirror is made, except I they do not apply the protective layer used on mirrors due to other inks being applied after the mirroring is done.
I have forgotten the exact steps to mirror making and if it can be done via a screen printing or not.
 I suspect it can be since IGT runs their own print shop

Here is a article on it but not the only one.
