Re: Printing on Tiles

2010-08-11 by Will

Paul,

Whilst strictly-speaking 'tis not printing *on* tiles, I'm playing with making pigment inkjet prints and then transferring the images to various substrates including damp plaster, polished metal and various other white building materials including tile.  The methods and materials are mostly those being explored by Dorothy Simpson Krause, Karin Schminke and Bonny Lhotka.  All can be found by a simple Google search.

I'm especially pleased with some things which are happening in transferring all-carbon (Eboni-6 inkset) images to various kitchen counter-top and floor-covering materials.  DIY suppliers such as Home Depot have many such items available in singles or small multiples.

This is satisfying my unfulfilled Polaroid-transfer appetites.  The E6 inks are so inexpensive no thought need be given to the wallet.
