10 Pack of Fired-on Decal Paper
10 Pack of Fired-on Decal Paper
Decal paper, or transfer paper, works exclusively with HP or Canon B&W laser printers to put any image you can create or find on any piece of pottery.
You only need 3 things to fire on your own decal images: An HP or Canon Black and White laser printer, Fired-On Images Transfer Paper, and access to a kiln.
First, find any image from your personal collection on your computer and print it out on the decal paper.
Once the decal begins to separate from the paper backing, remove it and slide the decal on to your surface.
Position the decal and blot off the excess water, and wait an hour or so for it to completely dry.
Fire the item in your kiln and you have a permanent image fired onto your item.
