Claim Text:
1. A method of making a coated article, the method comprising: printing a frit material on a glass substrate; heating the glass substrate with the frit material thereon at a first temperature in order to bond the frit material to the glass substrate in a desired pattern; following the heating, re-annealing the glass substrate by cooling the glass substrate in a manner that is controlled to be sufficiently slow to maintain and/or create stress in the glass substrate that is the same or similar to that present in the substrate prior to said heating; following said re-annealing, disposing a low-E coating on the glass substrate and over the desired pattern; after disposing the low-E coating on the glass substrate, cutting the glass substrate with the coating thereon to a desired size; and heat treating at a second temperature the cut glass substrate with the desired pattern and the coating thereon in making the coated article, the second temperature being lower than the first temperature.
