mdobay 13 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello, Has anyone used these Rice Paper oxide decals? I bought some to try on some of my pots, but struggling a little with getting image to come off clean from the paper on to my bisque ware. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks http://www.theceramicshop.com/store/category/40/242/Decals/Rice-Paper-Decal/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
High Bridge Pottery 685 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 So they are underglaze screen printed onto rice paper? Maybe try adding some pressure with a rubber rib to get the underglaze to transfer better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neilestrick 4,803 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 My students have used them successfully, but they put them onto leather hard ware. I think if you're going onto bisque you'll need a lot more water since it's so porous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Celia UK 162 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Anyone know of a UK supplier for these - would love to use them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bny 6 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I bought some from japancrafts.com.au . Their web site has a page that gives instructions for applying the transfers. They worked fairly well for me, but I have made only limited use of them and on very small dry pressed wares that were bisque fired to only a quite fragile state. The seller above recommended 1100-1300 C firing. Dampen the ware with a lightly dampened sponge, apply the transfer, smooth down with a lightly dampened sponge, wait 2-3 minutes then cautiously peel the paper, laying it back down and sponging again if the color is not completely transferring. Too much water will dissolve and run the color. I read somewhere that these transfers may have a limited shelf life. There is video online showing similar transfers being printed in China. They were printed by intaglio from metal plates on small hand presses in a very rudimentary workshop. mdobay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Celia UK 162 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks bny - I like the look of these but they're quite pricey, especially with the addition of shipping costs. However this made me do some price comparisons and the US supplier comes out much cheaper. Quality may be an issue, but for a first try I think they're worth going for. I can find nothing in the UK. No doubt someone will post a local supplier the minute I've placed an overseas order! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roberta12 479 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I have used some from Chinese Clay Art that look very similar with great results. I had better luck with bisque ware than greenware. I cut out my piece, drug it through the water, placed it on my pot, and used a sponge to press it on. Then peeled the paper off. Sprayed clear over it, and it was quite nice. I fire to cone 6. A friend has used them in cone 10 reduction with good results as well. Roberta Quote Link to post Share on other sites
