Abstract:
1. A method of making a laminated glazing for an automobile, the method comprising: screen printing a water-inclusive opacifying agent, directly or indirectly, on a major surface of a first glass substrate in a desired pattern in connection with a screen mesh that has at least 200 threads per inch and while maintaining an environment that has a relative humidity of at least 80% over and/or proximate to the screen mesh; heating the first glass substrate with the opacifying agent thereon to a first temperature sufficient to at least partially cure the opacifying agent in the desired pattern, said first temperature being less than 200 degrees C.; following said heating to the first temperature and said at least partial curing, bending the first glass substrate and a second glass substrate in connection with a second temperature higher than the first temperature, said second temperature used in bending the glass substrates being at least about 600 degrees C.; and laminating together the first and second glass substrates so that the cured opacifying agent is provided on an interior surface of the glazing.
