This is the same imprint method used on fine china items produced by world famous companies. With this imprinting or decorating method a decal is screen printed onto paper using specialty inks, which are designed for application onto china items (this include porcelain, ceramic and stoneware pieces) then transferred to the item by hand. After the art is applied to the item it is fired in a kiln to temperatures ranging from 1059 to 1533 degrees F. A very simple explanation of the what happens during the firing process is that the piece is heated to temperatures at which time the glaze becomes soft and tacky and the pigment in the decal fuses into the surface of the glaze. The coating that allows the decal to be placed on the china burns off in the firing process. After the firing process you are left with an item that is dishwasher and microwave safe when a standard ink color is used. Since we decorate all items by hand we have the ability imprint in multiple locations. For example a teapot can imprinted /decorates on the front, back, bottom, lid, handle and or spot; (additional location charges do apply). Most imprints are spot color which use this method.
