Does anyone know any great sources for decals, specifically images of people,
celebrities, animals? I am interested in new and old decals.
Thanks!

At Bennington Potters, where I worked for 14 years, I tried to remove some
decals done at cone 06 by firing them at cone 6. They blurred, but still
there after that exercise. It depends entirely what the decal media is.
Some materials will fire out..while cobalt and tenacious materials that are
refractory (able to withstand high temperatures) will remain in some form.
Bud at Heinrich Ceramic Decal in Wooster, Ma knows more about decals than
anyone else I know. If you can high fire it and then apply a low fire
decal directly over the spoiled one...you might make that work. A lot of
work to salvage one piece however,
IMHO

Hello,
I am looking into decal production and application in regard to
ceramics. If anyone can refer me to books or articles on the subject of
making your own decals cheaply, quickly and easily it would thoroughly
be appreciated. There may not be such information but for the time
being a good direction is the path I need.
It may be that there are decal producers who specialize in text. (I am
specifically looking to apply text to my work.) If you should have this
information it would be very helpful.
Thanks you,
Tristina

There are outfits (Art Decal in Long Beach, KLM in Denver -- no experience I
want to bruit about on either) who will make decals from your computer art.
Lay out a full sheet for your best buy. Personally, I'd rather stay away
from yet another tempting technology such as silkscreening. I've got too
much to learn about clay and the other areas I've enmeshed myself in already.
I've always been fond of the word decalcomania, because it is a red herring
of a word. In modern English I think of "de" as a negating, an undoing
prefix, but in this word, that the "de" means "from" as in "trace from" in
whatever the old tongue it comes from. Has rather an affirmative sense,
which pleases.

For all of those who are (still) interested in having custom decals made, I
found a company on the internet that specializes in small quantities; their
minimum is one. The owner is Ray and he is wonderful about trying to answer
all of your questions. The address is http://www.mcn.net/~heavenlyart/ and
their phone number is 1-800-359-4085.

This is actually a resist question posed to all you chemists,
physicists and glaze gurus in Clayartland:
I use acrylic gloss medium (AGM) as my resist vehicle. I also mix
underglaze colorants with AGM and apply on bisqueware, then glaze as
usual. The AGM burns out leaving the underglaze right where I put it.
What would happen if I mixed wet glaze with the AGM and applied to
bisque, then applied another glaze on top? What kind of reaction
might occur beteen the glaze chemicals and the AGM? Would toxic fumes
occur in firing? The mix would lay down but will it stay down? And
would the AGM burn out cleanly?
(I know this is a kind of strange question. I MUST get a life! This
question woke me up at 3 am and nothing in my library pointed me
toward any sort of answer.)
Thanks all!

A friend gave me a sack full of old ceramic decals. (Years old) The only
name on any of them is Alberta-Meitin, Cone 015-017. Tried several at Cone
017 but the color fired out. Is there a special trick to using decals?
Looked through my books but really can't find any instructions. Will the age
affect the fired look?
Are some decals fired at a lower temp? Thanks for any help.

I am interested in making my own decals. I was wondering where you can
purchase decal paper to silk screen onto. Also, what kind of glaze would be
best to silk screen with for that?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

hello,
I believe laguna carries the paper & the ink I resently purchased some
ink from Cercal and the stuff was super nasty.I could only clean my
screens with acetone.I also made my own ink using red lead90% and kaolin
10% add 10% mason stain I would add linseed (boiled) oil to this mix
until I got a very dry mix. the screen cleans up with turp. I would fire
these to cone 015.

I purchased most of my decal making materials from AMACO. The most expensive
item was "Decal Magic" at $32.15 for a 16 oz. jar. They also have decal
paper sheets in three sizes 4x4, 7x7, and 10 1/2 x 15. The workshop I
attended with Rimas VisGirda used oil based overglazes and fired to ^018. He
also fired decals onto old gin bottles at this temp with good results, but
he also recommended testing if you are going to do this. Different glasses
melt at different temps and you could have a big mess in the kiln. I hope
this helped.

I found a supplier of Decals, it is Duncan ceramics which was suggested to
me by someone on the list. I found a pottery supplier (Michigan Ceramics
Supply) and they have a catalogue to order from. They don't keep many on
stock, but they said they have what I want. There may be other suppliers
that carry the decals, i haven't found any others yet. There are some for
sale on Ebay at the moment. If you want to contact Michigan Ceramics, their

Hi Clayarters,
I'm delving into the world of decals. There is a woman over here in the UK
who can produce them from your artwork quite cheaply (=A340-50 for 20
sheets=
,
25x35cm). However I only need about 12 small decals as I need them for a
wall piece I'm doing at college (City Lit Ceramics Diploma, it's
fantastic!).
On the internet there is a site that sells decal paper for inkjet
printers -=
it's not weatherproof etc but may do for what I need - has anyone tried it
or does anyone have any other solutions for cheap decals in very small
quantities? The paper costs about $19 for 25 sheets so it seems like a good
deal, providing that it works...

Color decal digital equipment is expensive for individual ownership, so try
http://www.easyceramicdecals.com/
They are artists who have the 4-color digital decal-printing equipment and
do a business in making decals. You can send them a file, and they will
print an order as small as one sheet. I've not used their decals yet, but
saw their fired samples at NCECA and was impressed. There are some students
at UF currently ordering things. They'll do a "budget" sheet for $25. for
15.5 x 11" plus shipping.
If you're content w/appropriated imagery, National Art Craft has ceramic
decals in color. Lots of flowers and bird, among other things.

I would prefer underglaze, high fired, but don't know if they would keep

Hi Lou;
Underglaze decal is the core of my style; any color for any
temperature. Tissue transfers on bone dried greenwares.
There is a silkscreen and pre-press graphic set up charge, and
subsequent physical printing & materials fee. It is only worth it if
you are printing a lot. I will send back the screen when I'm done. I
can also sign a non-disclosure form if it matters to you.

Hi Lou
If you have access to a lazer printer (and a computer), you can buy either
Bel decals or Papilio decals, print your photos on the decal papers, and
apply them to whatever pottery piece you'd like to have them on. The Bel
decals take on a sepia tone (like the old fashioned pictures) and the
Papilio ones will take on the color of the underlying glaze. Apply them
over an already glazed pot, and refire (usually 2 cones below whatever your
glaze was fired at). It's a fun process and gives you a lot of versatility=
.
Just a thought . . . .

Most of the decals that can reproduce photographs are done on laser
printers and are overglaze.
One kind is a sepia color that results from the iron in the toner of
some brands of black and white laser printers.
The full color ones are made on color laser printers or copiers
loaded with special very expensive color ceramic toners. They are
overglaze at about cone 015.
For large runs of hundreds of decals the long used silk screen
process can yield multi color decals that are better made from
graphic images than photographs.. They can be low fire or hi fire
depending on what color stains are used. And they are mostly on glaze.
The Chinese have a decal process that I don't know much about that
uses stains applied to bisque and are underglaze and hifire.
Ink jet embossing can make short runs of decals using your choice of
stains and can do hi fire under glaze photographs. More than two
colors on the same decal ae very hard to do so monochrome photos in
any color are the best with this process.
Send more details of what you are trying to do and maybe we can give
better answers.
The subject of decals and image transfer is vast - almost as broad as
ceramics itself.
