MARKITON MKV-N Non-Fluxed Ceramic Decal Covercoat (Lacquer)

MARKITON MKV-N is a professional non-fluxed ceramic decal covercoat designed for producing high-quality photoceramic transfers using laser printers and ceramic toners.

It forms the essential organic film over the printed image, enabling clean sliding, protecting the decal during soaking, and ensuring precise adhesion to ceramic or porcelain surfaces during firing.

MKV-N is the optimal choice for studios and manufacturers seeking maximum control, clean transfer, elasticity, and a stable, natural final finish.

MARKITON MKV-N non-fluxed ceramic decal covercoat — Professional non-fluxed decal covercoat for clean transfer, elasticity, and controlled firing results.

Purpose & Functional Role

A covercoat is the protective and functional layer applied on top of the printed decal.

The MKV-N formulation creates a thin, flexible overprint coating that:

anchors ceramic toner securely to the Decapr decal paper

protects the print during soaking and positioning

ensures smooth, even adhesion to the ceramic body

minimizes defects such as microcracks, orange peel, or uneven film thickness

The quality of the covercoat determines the durability, firing behavior, and final appearance of any photoceramic product.

Smooth Film, Clean Transfer & Natural Color Output

Together they form a stable, professional decal system. It is especially valued in studios that require precision, consistency, and predictable results.

How to Apply MKV-N Covercoat

Print the image on Decapr decal paper using a ceramic laser printer with MARKITON FX toner.

Apply a uniform layer of MKV-N via screen printing or spray gun.

Dry until the film becomes fully elastic and transparent.

Soak the decal in water and gently slide it onto the ceramic or porcelain surface.

Dry completely before firing.

Fire according to your established photoceramic temperature curve.

Result: A durable, smooth, stable image with excellent tonal depth and long-term resistance to fading and weather exposure.
