Ceramic Transfer Paper – Decorating Made Easy
This reeds print in red is perfect for decorating platters, bowls, cups and more. The same pattern is available in blue TPB22. You don’t need to be an expert to create amazing homewares and decorative pieces. Ceramic tissue transfer papers (sometimes called underglaze decals) do most of the design work for you.

How does it Work?
Ceramic transfer papers are easy to apply on both flat and curved surfaces and create instant decorating effects with little effort. It’s as simple as applying a child’s tattoo. All you need to do is dampen the back of the transfer paper and press print side down on the surface you are working on. Leave for a few minutes before peeling off the paper to reveal the pattern. Once dry any additional embellishing can be done. If applying a clear glaze, take care by gently dabbing the first coat of glaze over the transfer pattern. Subsequent coats can be brushed on.

All our transfers are Japanese made, accounting for their high strength and excellent adhering properties onto raw clay, leather hard, greenware and bisque. They can be applied over painted or unpainted surfaces and finished with clear or transparent glazes and kiln fired to a broad range of temperatures from Cone 05-10. However, we recommend testing with your own glazes and kiln conditions. Please note firing will cause a slight colour change to the transfer pattern, so if matching colours, it is advisable to do a small test piece first.

Great service. I appreciated the small sample packet. All arrived in good time and good condition. Product was fresh so worked well.
Snieguolė Vaivadienė, Lithuania –
I am really happy about the received products. I enjoyed all services, including quite fast arrival of the parcel to Lithuania. I had no possibility to use the received transfers so far, but I hope that they will serve very well and I will be able to create wonderful pieces of ceramics art:) and of course, lots of thanks for the wonderful gifts! I was really surprised!

I have not fired your tissue decals, but love the designs. They are very unique and not at all like all the ones out there available for purchase. At the moment I have a couple of items waiting to be fired and if they survive the Cone 10 firing I will be purchasing more from you. Your service is outstanding. Very happy so far.

It’s always a pleasure to deal with Japan Crafts. They have a nice range of underglaze transfer papers which are reasonably priced and arrive promptly and well packaged.
