<p>A process for manufacturing molded plastic curved automotive molded plastic window panels (10) in which a blackout (16c) and decorative border is printed on the perimeter of the panel (10) with thermally curable ink. A hard coating (22c) is applied over the panel surfaces overlying the printed border (16c) to protect the same. In order to print on the curved surfaces of the window panel (10), an ink jet process using a robot manipulator (30) is used, or a special screen printing apparatus in which a squeegee wiper (46) is mounted on a pendulum arm (48) to provide a constant angle position as the screen (42) is wiped by swinging movement of the pendulum (48). A special hinged screen frame (42) allows the frame to assume a shape in rough approximation to the panel curvature.</p> |
