i am trying to print dinnerware safe decals. can i screen print nontoxic
commercial underglazes? if so, how? do i first fire the clear glaze, and
then fire the decal as an overglaze? or can i fire the decal first to cone
05 and then cover that with a clear glaze?
also, does anyone know of a way to print fire-able decals (nontoxic and
also toxic) from a computer printer?
i know this has been discussed much, but after days of searching, i cant
find an answer. please advise, thanks, juliette

My wife prints out quilt patterns to use as templates all the time, this
gave me an idea I use on occassion.
I print out three or four copies of a design I wish to use on my tiles,
(number of copies depends on the number of colors in the pattern). I cut out
the first color, then take a wax pen used in tye dying to trace on the tile.
Then hand paint in the glaze. Remove the wax, and repeat for each color.
Works great.

Daniel, can you please enlarge on
? What is tye dying? Could a shaped block of
bees wax do the same?
You seem to have struck on something important here, but the terminology is
not translating.

Phonetically it sounds like Jan-ting, (can't remember the spelling!)
that is used for wax resist. Tie-dyeing is binding bits of cloth with
string or tape to resist the colour when the whole is immersed in the
dye bath.
