Abstract

See full text

Methods and materials allow personalizing ceramic products such as coffee mugs, plates, vases, etc. by transferring an inkjet image to the surface of a ceramic object. According to embodiments of the invention, personalizing a ceramic object may include three elements: an image receptive layer that has been deposited on a ceramic object to form an image receptive surface, an inkjet image to be transferred, and control over the image transfer process. An inkjet image is printed on an image transfer sheet, which is then brought into contact with the image receptive surface of a ceramic object. The dyes comprising the image begin to migrate into the image receptive layer of the ceramic object under suitable conditions.
