Hi=21

Does anyone know a BLACK C/06 glaze formula, that I can put in the ink =
cartridge
of my Epson Ink Jet printer to print on decal paper. I am tranfering them =
onto
WHITE GLAZE already fired at C/6 for outdoor use.

Epson ink, has no ceramic material in it, so it is not permanent, Hewlett
Packard printers have 60=25 iron oxide, so can print on decal paper, =
producing a
sepia toned tile. Unforunately, not to offend, I am just not a sepia kind =
of
gal, hense, this insanity of testing with an expensive printer, is about to
happen, unless....someone out there can help me=21 Also, apparently, =
porcelain
underglazes work (though I don't know how to do that either=21), because of =
the
smallish particles, but...I want to print ontop of a glaze, as I'm making =
tiles
for an outdoor fountain, and I want it to be as watertight as possible.

And, apropos to this experiment....if I mix Cobalt Carbonate and Manganese
Dioxide, to achieve BLACK, paint it (or put it in ink jet, and apply as a =
decal)
on top of my fired C/6 white glaze and fire to C/06, would there be complete
fusion, or would it burn out, chip off, or move around. I am printing, =
computer
generated photographs and am looking for detail.

Wow, if any of you know something about this, it would be pretty gosh darn
terrific=21=21=21=21

Here is a wild guess. Try using sulfates--they are soluble and won't plug up
the printer jets. I have not tried this!!!
