Dear Friends,
I found this info on the internet and pray that you can help me.
I have a jpg picture of a glorious painting that I want to mass produce
and put on plates.
Some of the images could be cut from the original and put on cups,
glasses, table cloths and napkins, blinds for windows. Just a few ideas
for this art work.
Below is the clip that led me to all of you:
=========================================================
People have been putting photos on ceramic
with the gum bichromate photographic process for decades. They are big on
gravestones in some European countries.
Another way was announced recently in Germany using the DuPont Cromalin
process with china paint pigments in the photopolymer laminates. This
gives a color image but takes a trained operator and a few thousand dollars
worth of equipment.
Then there is the good old silk screen process.
In the archives you will find advice on how to transfer a xerox or
laserprinter image to the glazed surface or to bare clay bisque. This gives
a sepia image.
I know there are other ways of doing this such as dye sublimation printing
to an organic layer applied to the ceramic after firing. You see this
process in shopping malls in a kiosk where they are selling numerous
objects with the customer's picture on them.
The process used determines the firing temperature. Anythimg from cone 019
for the decals and from cone 04 ox. up to cone 10 reduction for the laser
toner image on bare clay. If you want I will send you a picture of my work
with this process.
============================================================
Respectfully,
Yusuf
