These transfers are commonly used when a bold, deep black colour is desired on the surface of ceramics like tableware, tiles, or decorative pieces. Since black is a prominent colour, ensuring that it retains its strength and doesn't fade during the high-temperature firing process is critical.Key Aspects of Inglaze Strong Black Transfers:Colour Intensity: Strong black inglaze transfers are formulated with pigments that can withstand the high temperatures required for inglaze decoration (typically 1000°C or higher) while maintaining their rich black hue. This makes them ideal for designs that need to feature bold, solid black areas or intricate black detailing.Durability: Like all inglaze transfers, strong black transfers become part of the ceramic piece by being fired beneath the glaze. This makes the design highly durable, resistant to scratching, and able to retain its appearance even after repeated use or exposure to chemicals like detergents.Contrast and Aesthetic: Strong black transfers offer high contrast, especially when applied to light or white glazes. They create a striking visual impact and are often used for monochromatic or black-and-white designs that demand attention to detail and boldness.Precision: These transfers can be used for detailed patterns, fine line work, or large black areas. The transfer process ensures the accuracy and consistency of the design, which is essential for commercial production or high-quality decorative pieces.Applications:Tableware: Often used on plates, bowls, mugs, and other dishware to create elegant black designs that contrast with lighter glaze backgrounds.Tiles:Strong black transfers are popular in tile production for intricate murals or simple, bold designs in kitchens, bathrooms, or architectural projects.Decorative Ceramics: Vases, figurines, and other ornamental pieces often use these transfers to achieve a luxurious or modern look with black designs.Inglaze strong black transfers are an excellent choice when you want to achieve a durable, high-quality black design that can stand the test of time and enhance the overall visual appeal of ceramics.Popular InsightsSee what other users are reading November 13, 2013 Share Mugtastic!Le Bizz is a family run gift shop in the heart of West Kirby owned by Steve and Caroline Ramsay.
