Printing on thin fire
I am looking for info on printing on thin fire paper and fusing between 96. I have a trophy job and need to include golf club logo? I do not want sepia color....black print would work best,

Re: Printing on thin fire
Thinfire turns to powder upon firing. You may get the image transferred to the glass, but you will have a pile of powder in between. Transfers can give strong images. You could use vitreous paint or enamels to obtain the image.

I haven't printed on thinfire but I have drawn an image with a pencil and place it between two pieces of glass and the thinfire stayed white with the image on it.catherine wrote:I am looking for info on printing on thin fire paper and fusing between 96.

I just did a 200 piece trophy order. They also wanted their logo. I screen printed them and they looked great. If you don't have access to that option test the Thinfire method and just make the white a design element.

I have a print gocco silkscreen printer. Which brand of enamel paint would you recommend? is it hard to silkscreen on the glass? The logo would not be more then 2X 2 inches. also does the print need to be capped with clear 96? Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge

Oh, those print Gocco units are fun! I have used that unit once for printing on glass. I use the Ferro enamels. One word of warning for the print Gocco, wash the screens carefully if you want to reuse them.catherine wrote:I have a print gocco silkscreen printer.

If I can get the picture to load I will post the design I used for the Gocco unit.
Good luck

Our Kaiser Glass paints are made to be screen printed. You can adjust the viscosity up with Ferro 3269 or down with A-14. The viscosity is very important to achieve a detailed print.
