Printing Methods For Ceramic Cup Designs

Screen printing

Process principle
The glaze or ink is accurately transferred to the surface of the Stoneware Ceramic Christmas Mug body through screen printing, and the pattern printing is completed by manual or mechanical scraping pressure.


Technical features
Suitable for monochrome or simple multi-color patterns, with low cost;
Requires plate making (such as photosensitive plate making or manual engraving), suitable for mass production;
The printing layer is relatively thin, and long-term use may cause fading or wear

Internal mold printing 

Process steps
Use molds engraved with patterns to imprint on semi dry porcelain bodies, so that printing and molding are completed simultaneously;
Combining subsequent glazing and high-temperature firing to fix pattern.


Technical features
The pattern is integrated with the body, creating a simple and natural appearance;
The requirements for mold accuracy and process control are extremely high, resulting in a low yield rate.
