Industry Links
The field of Traditional print is a collection of past industrial processes. Research into reducing solvent use in waterbased screenprinting led to the development of
a patented water based ceramic transfer printing system which substantially reduces solvent use.
In 1998, the research team at The Centre For Fine Print Research successfully filed a patent for an on glaze screenprinted ceramic transfer process known as U-Wet using water-based, solvent free (i.e. hydrocarbon free) media which had no smell and has no health risks for the user. The print transfer method retains image clarity even at a small scale.
The U - Wet Transfer paper together with a T.W. Graphics water based screen printing ceramic transfer medium is used in this process.The 'U - Wet' Transfer paper together with a T.W. Graphics water based screen printing ceramic transfer medium is used in this process.
