Ceramics and Alternative Printing with Dip (Desktop Inkjet Printer) Transfer Technique
As civilizations advance and new materials or tools are discovered, artists utilize the possibilities of new techniques to decorate both functional and sculptural works. Each and every technique employed yields a distinct surface in response to the process and the intention. If we investigate only image and design transfer techniques alone, we find more than thirty techniques that can be used on green ware, bisque ware, and glaze ware. The possibilities forto discovering new alternative ways to create transfer images and designs on ceramic surfaces expands further, as we employ screen printing, sponge printing; stamped, linocuts and other printmaking techniques.

In this article, we will briefly discuss the ceramics print and inkjet technology, and the use of the computer as a tool for designing images. We also explain the process of alternative printing with dip transfer techniques ‘Dip Transfer’ (Desktop Inkjet Printer Transfer)
Today’s widespread usage of the computer gives many artists and designers even more opportunities to create more effective and expressive digital drawings, design and images.
