– print with a transfer technique with an additional thermochromic print (an element that vanishes if a product has a specific temperature – when boiling water is poured into a mug)
|
– imprint on which you can write and wipe out like on a chalkboard |
|
– organic decal imprint (intensive colours f.e. 100% MAGENTA, pink colours, not available in other techniques) |
– fluorescent imprint (reflected light wave length is longer than wave length of original light) |

Projects technical directivesAccepted Image Formats – graphics file: cdr, eps lub ai. Fonts – all text should be converted to outlines or curves or all fonts must be included with your file. Colours – we recommend to determine colours according to Pantone colour scale, – bitmaps in CMYK. Resolution – four-colour process and continuous-tone images with 300 dpi at actual size, – preview files JPG 72 dpi. Selections of imprints colour The ceramics paint colours don’t have marking Pantone and they can’t be exactly compared to this colour pattern book. Deviation of colour in two degrees scale of Pantone is permitted. |

Imprint durability Printing on ceramic articles are done in temperatures between 800–840°C. This guarantees high durability of imprints (resistant to dishwashers, chemicals, mechanical wear like scratching and rubbing etc.) Imprints on glass are done in temperatures between 550–620°C. We recommend hand-washing. |
IVORY DIRECT PRINT – direct print recommended for printing solid colours
Stages of print process:
– developing a design for print
– print directly on a product
– print burning process
Technological restrictions:
– print only in solid colours without raster elements
– print only on the external side of a product within the limits of a designated print area
– the minimum line thickness: positive: 0.2 mm, negative: 0.4 mm
– the minimum text size: positive: 7 pt, negative: 10 pt
Advantages:
– print resistant to mechanical damage
– print resistant to chemicals (washing in dishwashers)
IVORY TRANSFER PRINT – decals printing
Stages of the application process:
– developing a print design
– transfer print:
– applying a transfer onto a product
– print burning process
Technological restrictions:
– there may be difficulties in representing some Pantone colours
– the minimum line thickness: positive 0.2 mm, negative 0.4 mm
– the minimum text size: positive 6 pt, negative 8 pt
Emalia
- minimal font size: 7 points in positive, 10 points in negative
- minimum line thickness: 0.25 mm points in positive, 0.45 mm in negative
Advantages:
– picture prints with an unlimited number of colours
– decorating with gold, platinum
– print resistant to mechanical damage
– print resistant to chemicals (washing in dishwashers)
IVORY SUBLIMATION PRINT – print with sublimation technique
Stages of print process:
– developing a print design
– print from a printer onto sublimation paper
– transfer of print onto a product
– print heating process
Technological restrictions:
– no resistance to mechanical washing off
– print only on the external side of a product within limits of a print area
– limited availability of products for thermosublimation
Advantages:
– picture prints with an unlimited number of colours
– photographic quality of print
– kvivid and saturated colours
– cost efficient multi-colour prints combined with low outlays
IVORY DEEP PRINT – engraving/sand blasting
Stages of the print process:
– developing a design for plotting
– design plotting on masking foil
– sticking masking foil on a product
– sand blasting
– removing foil
– possibility of applying additional paint on the created design
Technological restrictions:
– a limited print area
– the minimum text size of 12 pt
– contact the commercial department to learn whether the print is possible
Advantages:
– unique effect of spatial print
– permanent print
– the print may be combined with IVORY TRANSFER print technology
IVORY COOL – HOT PRINT – print with a transfer technique with an additional thermochromic print (an element that vanishes if a product has a specific temperature – when boiling water is poured into a mug)
Stages of the print process:
– developing a project for print
– transfer print
– applying transfer on a product
– print burning process
– preparation for thermochromic print
– thermochromic transfer print
– applying thermochromic transfer onto a product
– thermochromic transfer heating
Technological restrictions:
– lower resistance to chemicals in dishwashers for thermochromic elements. Other imprint’s parts are fully resistant
Advantages:
– interesting effect of imprint appearing after boiling water’s pouring in (emphasis of advertising message)
– photo prints with no limitations to number of colours
– gold and platinum decorations possible
– an unlimited print area
– print in areas inaccessible for other technologies (hollow and convex areas, handle, bottom, full areas of a product with a link under handle, etc.)
