Method for forming curable decal

摘要

The method is suitable for decorating a ceramic article, and comprises printing a liquid material on to a backing paper by an ink jet printer to form a required pattern of adhesive material, supplying particulate decorative material such as pigment on to the adhesive pattern, and subsequently removing excess particulate material. The liquid material may be an adhesive, or alternatively the liquid material may comprise a solvent which activates an adhesive material on the backing paper.
