Porcelain decoration paints are made up of pigments and low melting point frit (fluss). The series 64 paints are suitable for decoration over glazing, for a third firing. The paint may be applied with brush or by direct or indirect screen printing. The powder paint needs to be mixed with a carrier material (oil) depending on the way it is to be applied. The firing temperature depends on the glaze to be decorated. In the case of ceramic glazes and enamels the firing temperature range is 760 -800 °C, in the case of porcelain glazes it is 800 -840 °C. The paints' melting material has a low lead content. A well-fired decoration paint has favourable chemical, mechanical and dishwasher resistance properties.
