Test a sample on your exact glaze before production
Overglaze decals are applied to an already glazed, clean ceramic surface. After the film is positioned and fully dried, the piece is fired using a schedule suited to the decal, glaze and kiln so the image bonds into the surface.
Best uses for overglaze transfers
Overglaze is commonly chosen for full-colour logos, photographs, botanical artwork, branded mugs, plates, tiles and decorative pottery where colour reproduction matters. Light or white surfaces generally give the clearest result.
