What is a digital decal tile?

Using a computer and a specially designed printer we produce a digital ceramic decal.

The digital decal is composed of ceramic color toners applied to a rubber coated transfer paper.

The tile with applied digital image decal is kiln fired from 1500 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on the tile used).

The ceramic color toners in the digital decal when kiln fired, melts with the glaze on the tile to form a permanent bond.
