Hello all ,
I wrote a note awhile ago asking at what temperature you can
fire the laser printed Bell laser water slide decals.
In the past I only fired decals to 018. But with the information
folks shared with me I started to experiment.
First I added a decal to a glazed lowfire piece and fired to 06.
worked fine
I put a decal on 04 green ware bisqued it came out fine
and then glaze fired it at 06 worked fine
I put a decal on 04 bisqued porcelain piece and then glaze
fired it to ^10.I put it under glaze and left it unglazed on this
piece. It worked great stronger black on the unglazed portion.
So what I found is that these laser printed decals go from 018
to ^10. I used an HP1200 laser printer to print the decals.
Thanks to all for sending me suggestions. If anyone does any other
experimentation share it with us.
