Dan,
Die sublimation prints are a type of computer output that puts the
pigments on the paper by a thermal process. They are not "archival" but
retain the photographic quality of the image. Since the pigments used are
a wax-like substance, I am guessing that the surface application to the
glaze helps prevent the image from sliding during transfer. They are
probably using heat to transfer it and setting it in w/ additional heat.
This substance must help set it during the second phase, blending in w/ the
image. I have thought of using it in transfering my images on clay,
except I was thinking of using raw bisque as the support. I am going to
try it and see what happens.

Hello I was wondering if you tried the dye sublimation method on clay? I am
very interested in learning to do this on my slab made tiles?
Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Mayco Creative Images is a great do-it-yourself process for firing photos
onto any glazed ceramic surface. The image comes out sepia toned but there
are several ways of easily "Colorizing" the image. It basicially looks
like a colorized photo. The nice thing about this process is that you can
do one-offs very inexpensively. All you need to do is buy one of the
recommended HP or Canon printers or copiers (low end under $100) and the
$40.00 kit and you are set to go.
Dye sublimation set ups are way too expensive to be a practical solution
for in studio/home use and since they are not fired-on the the image will
not last forever. Creative Image's transfers are fired much higher than
traditional decals and are also food safe.
