Abstract
Among other things, a pattern of dry particles of a pigment is provided on a transfer layer. The pattern of dry particles is transferred onto a surface of a ceramic substrate in preparation for firing of the dry particles to form a permanent pattern on the ceramic substrate.
Claims40
A method comprising:
- providing a pattern of dry particles of a pigment on a tacky surface on a transfer layer, and
- transferring the pattern of the dry particles onto a surface of a ceramic substrate in preparation for firing the dry particles to form a permanent pattern on the ceramic substrate.
A method comprising:
- providing a pattern of dry particles of a pigment on a tacky surface on a transfer layer, and
- transferring the pattern of the dry particles onto a surface of a rigid substrate in preparation for processing the dry particles to form a permanent pattern on the rigid substrate.
A transfer apparatus, comprising:
- a first surface to temporarily hold a pattern of dry particles of pigments,
- a second surface to support a substrate onto which the pattern of dry particles of pigment is to be transferred;
- and
- a conveyor to move the first surface relative to the second surface to cause the pattern of dry particles of pigments to be transferred onto the substrate.
1 more element
An article, comprising:
- a ceramic substrate bearing a jetted pattern comprising at least one of:
- wax, glue, epoxy, and adhesive, and
- dry particles of pigments held by the jetted pattern.
