frit 'bad' for iron colors and also laser decals.

This bleaching has been the bane of those of us trying to make images
on clay using iron bearing laser decals. We can get a nice sepia
image on bare clay or overglaze but as soon as we try to glaze over
such an image with clear glaze all we get is a dim yellow ghost of
an image.
Any ideas on how to overcome this problem will be gratefully
accepted and probably tried out as well.
