How to Print Ceramic Decals
Give your ceramics a different touch of style by adding your own, homemade decals. You can find decal sheets made for ceramics at arts and crafts or hobby stores. Take special note of what type of printer the decals are compatible with, which will be listed on the decal sheets' package. Using sheets intended for an ink jet printer in a laser printer will ruin the sheet and possibly the printer as well.
