MARKITON Decal Coatings Professional Ceramic & Glass Covercoats

MARKITON Decal Coatings are professional ceramic and glass decal covercoats — including liquid lacquers, varnishes, and aerosol sprays — designed specifically for photoceramics, digital decal production, and glass printing.

A covercoat (cover coat) is the functional film applied over the printed image on decal paper. It forms the transfer layer that enables clean sliding, protects the image during soaking, and ensures correct fusion of ceramic or glass toner during firing.

Professional Covercoats, Lacquers & Sprays for Ceramic and Glass Decals

Each MARKITON coating is engineered to work within the unified MARKITON decal system:

printer toner paper covercoat/lacquer firing

This integrated ecosystem guarantees predictable behavior in firing, clean transfer, strong adhesion, and long-term durability of the final image.

 

MARKITON produces two professional lines of coatings:

MKV Series — Liquid Ceramic & Glass Covercoats (Lacquers)
MKS Series — Aerosol Decal Sprays (Spray Covercoats)

Why MARKITON Covercoats Are the Professional Choice

MARKITON coatings are trusted by studios and manufacturing facilities worldwide due to their:

smooth, defect-free film with no bubbles, haze, streaks, or cloudiness
controlled coating thickness for stable firing and predictable results
consistent compatibility with MARKITON LX / FX / GX toners
enhanced adhesion to glaze, porcelain, ceramics, glass, and mirror surfaces
European formulations and batch stability
perfect usability with Decapr decal base paper

Each batch is tested for transfer quality, adhesion, flexibility, drying behavior, and thermal performance.

MKV Series — Liquid Ceramic & Glass Covercoats (Lacquers)

MARKITON MKV coatings are high-performance liquid decal covercoats applied by screen printing or spray gun.

They form a controlled overprint lacquer layer, essential for producing professional-quality ceramic and glass decals.

For porcelain, ceramics, tiles, souvenirs

A non-fluxed organic lacquer designed for classical digital decal workflows.

Best for:

FX ceramic toners
porcelain and ceramic items
souvenir and decorative tile applications

Key advantages:

very smooth, even film
high elasticity to resist cracking during firing
natural finish without excessive gloss
excellent durability after high-temperature processing

MKV-F — Fluxed Ceramic Decal Covercoat

For memorial ceramics, glossy finishes, and high-adhesion applications

The integrated flux provides improved gloss, stronger adhesion, and increased surface hardness after firing.

Best for:

LX ceramic toners
memorial ovals and plaques
applications requiring pronounced gloss and depth

Key advantages:

intensified gloss
improved adhesion during firing
stable skin tones and vivid colors
tough, scratch-resistant finish

MKV-G — Glass Decal Covercoat

For glass, mirrors, architectural panels, photoglass

A specialized glass covercoat designed for low-temperature fusion at 530–630 °C.

Best for:

GX glass ceramic toners
interior decorative glass
mirrors and reflective surfaces
artistic and architectural glass panels

Key advantages:

intensified gloss
improved adhesion during firing
stable skin tones and vivid colors
tough, scratch-resistant finish

MKS Series — Aerosol Decal Spray Covercoats

The MKS series uses the same high-grade formulas as MKV but in a convenient aerosol format.

These spray covercoats are ideal for small studios, rapid production cycles, and situations where lacquer equipment is unavailable.

MKS-N — Non-Fluxed Spray Covercoat

Equivalent to MKV-N

For ceramics, porcelain, and tiles.

Creates a thin, clean, uniform film without dedicated spray equipment.

MKS-F — Fluxed Spray Covercoat

Equivalent to MKV-F

Provides bright gloss, improved adhesion, and stable behavior in memorial photoceramics.

MKS-G — Glass Spray Covercoat

Equivalent to MKV-G

Ensures excellent transparency and consistent adhesion for glass and mirror applications.

Where MARKITON Coatings Are Used

  • Memorial Photoceramics: portraits, plaques, ovals
  • Interior Ceramic Printing: artistic tiles, decorative panels
  • Glass Printing: photoglass, architectural glass, stained glass
  • Souvenir Production: plates, decorative porcelain
  • Industrial Ceramic Decal Manufacturing: repetitive, high-precision production cycles
MARKITON coatings are not just lacquers or varnishes — they are precision-engineered ceramic decal covercoats forming the core of a complete, high-performance decal production system.
