Beauty, fired into ceramic

Commercial memorial portrait suppliers will try to scare you away from making your own, their profits depend on you paying them. The real answer: if you know Photoshop, it really is easy. Don’t just take our word for it, we’re happy to give you customer references (monument builders who produce their own portraits) so you can decide based on their experience. Yes, you really can do it yourself.

Cost depends on how you intend to use it, a dinnerware manufacturer’s needs differ from a monument builder’s. Each system is configured to the buyer. For pricing, call us for a quote. Training is individualized, one customer at a time, a half to full day. We recommend visiting our facility in Golden, Colorado; we also offer on-site and online training. In the end it’s 80% Photoshop.

We have food-safe toners that meet the food-safety standards of the FDA and of California Proposition 65.

The new toner formulations are not much more expensive than the standard toner that comes with a LASER printer. The most important cost metric is the finished decal: around 6 cents per square inch, so a 3 × 5 inch decoration costs about $1, including toner, decal paper, and cover coat.

We have been manufacturing products with digital ceramic printing systems for more than 20 years, and selling and supporting those systems for nearly as long. No supplier in North America has as much experience.
