Digital Ceramic Transfer Printing for your Business
The flexibility digital ceramic printing offers means we can offer small and large print runs with an infinite range of colour options but without the set up costs incurred with traditional screen print methods. This means we can deliver high volume print runs for commercial customers at pricing to suit smaller businesses.
Using custom built ICC profiles we colour match your artwork to create superior quality digital ceramic waterslide decals. Once fired the ceramic decals are permanently fused into the surface of glazed bone china, porcelain, ceramic, glass and enamel. Innovative print options include extra strong black transfers, white only print for dark glazes and standard low fire on-glaze and high temperature in-glaze transfers.

Decorating Tips
- Firstly warm the ware to 20-30°C.
- Dip the decals into room temperature water immediately.
- Place onto a sloping decorators tray so that any excess water can drain away (do not leave the decals floating in water).
- Use a medium squeegee (kidney) to apply the decal to the dry ceramic piece at room temperature. Work from the middle to ensure all the water has been removed.
- Wipe the surface to ensure it is dry.
- It is best to allow the decorated piece to dry for 12 hours or ideally overnight in a warm environment at approx. 20-25°C before firing.
Firing tips
Digital decals have the same properties as conventional screen printed decals. However, if you are firing digital decals for the first time, then use these instructions as a guide.
- The ceramic piece is fired from 620 - 840°C - depending on the colour and type of transfer you have.
- Firing cycles should all be well ventilated.
- Kiln cools naturally
- Once fired and cooled your ceramics are ready and colours are UV resistant and the image is permanent.
Magenta Colour Set Transfers (820 – 840°C)
We would usually fire at 250°C per hour up to 840°C with a 15 minute soak.
Red Colour Set Transfers (780 – 800°C)
For red set colours also 250°C per hour up to 800°C with 25 minute soak
