I am using dichromated colloids to print images on white engobed bisque
fired earthernware. I dust on coloring oxide after the print is dry and it
sticks to the background, giving a reversed image when glazed and fired to
cone 04 under a transparent glaze. This works for simple bold patterns ( I
am using neolithic rock art downloaded off the web) but is no good for
continuous tone pictures. Have heard of a product called Decorem, probably
originating in France. Can anyone tell me about it and where to get it ? George
