Decorative Techniques of Modern Ceramics with Ceramic Stickers
Ceramic decals, also known as "transfer decals", are one of the most widely used decorative techniques in modern ceramics. They achieve decorative effects by transferring floral paper patterns onto ceramic bodies or glaze surfaces, and are divided into two types: overglaze decals and underglaze decals.
The process carrier includes paper and plastic film flower paper. In the early stage, the paper needs to be peeled off and washed, while in the later stage, the film flower paper simplifies the process and supports mechanization. High temperature solvent based ink is used for overglaze decals, while water-based ink is used for underglaze decals. The firing temperature range is 700-1350 ℃, and the color is determined by ceramic colorants; Screen printing technology enables the resolution of sticker paper to reach 40-50 lines/centimeter, but due to the strong ink coverage, spot color dot printing is required. Before pasting, the white body needs to be treated and the flower paper should be avoided from stretching. During baking, high temperature continuous baking is required.
This technology originated from traditional handmade decoration and gradually replaced hand drawn and spray painting techniques as the mainstream. As an extension of the stacking process, pattern printing and decals enrich the decorative forms; Glazed and underglaze decal paper are adapted to different firing conditions due to differences in composition, forming a diverse decorative system.
Moving flowers
Flower transfer is the process of transferring colored patterns from flower paper onto ceramic bodies or glaze surfaces using adhesive techniques. Divided into overglaze decals and underglaze decals, etc. Glaze decals include film transfer decals, clear water decals, and adhesive decals. Underglaze decals are those that only print the outline of the pattern on the decal paper and then manually color it after transfer printing; There are also one-time stickers with line colors, called water stickers. There are two types of decal paper: paper and plastic film. The use of paper decal paper requires processes such as peeling and washing. Later, the invention of film decal paper eliminates the need for peeling and facilitates mechanized and continuous operation.
