moh Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Sorry to post such a mug on this forum for artists, but I've been trying to figure out how the crisp image like this is printed on the mug. I've done decal work and they're nowhere near the sharpness or brightness of color like in this mug. Is this sublimated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 My guess would be a decal of some sort...you might contact "The Foxy Hipster" with the query...https://www.etsy.com/market/foxy_hipster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 it's probably some sort of decal. With pieces like that it's most likely printed with some kind of super tough ink/paint/whatever that may or may not even be baked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnhar Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I looked into something like this a while back as I wanted to print my astronomy pictures on some of my pottery, but in the process I found, the printer is 15k and you have to use some proprietary commercial glaze formula for the picture to print on it, then bake at 1000f. I could not find any source that would print on my mug, for any cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 My guess is yes its sublimated and most likely not fired on or fired below decal temps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 A local painter provides high res image files to a service provider (in the Five Cities area) that has equipment to create fired on transfers. The painter has them fired on ceramic square tiles - the result, marketed as a trivet (withstanding "up to 400F") and/or wall hanging sold very well at an event I participated in ...I'm not finding the service provider, however, am finding a few other local painters that offer similar trivet type reproduction of their paintings - the process cost may be reasonably priced, for the trivets I'm seeing retail $26-30. Any road, will keep an eye out for the painter, and ask about the process and provider (again - I forgot the name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Beller Diesel Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 It might be possible to do an image that crisp using on one of the Enduring Images printers ($$$), but I’d have to double check that bright green and yellow/gold colour. Given that shop’s assortment of products, I agree this is probably a sublimation print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
