Alien Black is crafted using premium, tinted, satin-etched glass. The ultra-smooth matte finish of this tinted glass substrate, paired with a custom black paint, delivers a bold and sophisticated aesthetic. Designed for both performance and style, the non-reflective surface resists fingerprints, making it ideal for high-touch applications without compromising its sleek appearance.

Designers can choose from a variety of glass substrates and virtually any Pantone^® color imaginable to create unique opaque designs for a variety of applications. Alice^® direct-to-glass ready to print designs can be incorporated, custom artwork, photography and logos—then back-painted.

Back-painting is on the #2 surface of the glass and can be applied to low-iron, clear, satin etched (single sided), and most patterned or textured glass substrates.
