SPOT COLOUR MIXING
All ceramic enamel spot colours are specially mixed and matched as closely as possible to colour samples or Pantone spot colour references.
The glass enamels used for ceramic printing on mugs are based on metal oxides in a glassy matrix and are not organic dyes as like paper printing inks.
The main advantage of these glass enamels is that the colours never fade, and they are microwave and dishwasher proof.
Ceramic enamel printing is kiln fired to 850˚C, and is colour fade resistant, and durable.
