Ceramic Toners Guide

Our standard ceramic toner set consists of a cyan, magenta, yellow and black set used for the onglaze decoration of ceramics with a maximum firing temperature of around 860°C.

An alternative unleaded toner set is also available and is compatible with the standard set enabling colour toners from the two sets to be mixed without causing any firing issues.

In the red toner set the standard magenta and yellow toner is replaced with selenium red and cadmium yellow colours to enable a better red colour than is possible with the standard set. These colours are not as stable as the standard range and the colours will begin to fade when fired above 800°C.

A high temperature red toner set is available but these toners are not fluxed and need to be used with a fluxed covercoat or fired to the glaze softening point in order to fuse them to the ceramics. The colours are stable to 1200°C and can be used for inglaze and bisque transfer applications.

A firing guide for all sets is available on the ceramic transfer guide page.
