What You Need to Start Ceramic Printing Full MARKITON Photoceramic Workflow
To start creating images on ceramic, porcelain, or glass surfaces, you only need five essential components.
Every MARKITON element is engineered for full compatibility and stable firing results.
All you need is a printer, toner, decal paper, cover coat (optional), and a kiln.
1. Ceramic Printer
The core device of the entire workflow.
MARKITON offers two specialized printers for photoceramic production:
MARKITON A4-300
A compact solution for small studios and individual workshops.
Ideal for printing memorial portraits, plaques, and souvenir products.
MARKITON A3-300
A professional printer for larger formats and serial production.
Used for interior ceramic panels, architectural tiles, and large souvenir items.
Both printers feature:
- modified ceramic-toner feeding systems
- optimized color profiles
- firing-accurate color output
- print resolution 1200 × 1200 dpi for photographic clarity
2. MARKITON Ceramic Toner
Toner is the heart of the technology.
It contains heat-resistant ceramic pigments that fuse permanently with the glaze during firing.
MARKITON produces three toner series, each designed for a specific application:
For souvenirs, tiles, porcelain, interior ceramics.
830–890 °C
For memorial portraits, outdoor plaques, and high-detail images.
830–890 °C
For printing on glass, mirrors, architectural glass panels.
530–630 °C
All toner series are available in CRYK and provide stable, long-lasting color that does not fade.
3. Decal Paper
Decal paper transfers the printed ceramic pigment to the glazed surface.
MARKITON offers two professional types:
LamDeco Series — Laminated Decal Paper
Decal paper with a factory-applied laminated film for clean, durable transfer.
Available as:
Both series ensure:
- perfect adhesion
- smooth film separation in water
- bubble-free firing results
- compatibility with all MARKITON ceramic and glass toners
4. Cover Coats (Decal Varnishes)
Cover coats are not used with EDP-N, EDP-F, EDP-G, LamDeco N, or LamDeco F.
They are required only when printing on classic decal paper without pre-applied coatings.
The cover coat (varnish) protects the printed image and forms the water-transfer film.
MARKITON produces three types:
Available in:
5L canisters
MKS aerosol sprays
(for small studios)
They form a uniform protective layer that ensures clean transfer and safe firing.
5. Kiln (Muffle Furnace)
The final stage — firing.
High temperature fuses the toner pigments into the glaze or glass surface.
For beginners, a suitable kiln should have:
- programmable temperature controller
- chamber volume 15–50 liters
- firing range 530–890 °C
- stable heating and controlled temperature curves
A quality kiln ensures firing consistency — critical for photoceramic production.
