Ceramic decal assembly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process of forming a decorated ceramic substrate comprising the steps of;
- (a) adhesively attaching a ceramic decal to a substrate with a pressure sensitive adhesive, wherein said ceramic decal is comprised of a flexible substrate an image and a carbonaceous material, and(b) removing said flexible substrate to form a precursor assembly, and(c) thereafter firing said precursor assembly to remove substantially all of said carbonaceous material in said precursor assembly, wherein a fired assembly is formed and said image is fixed on said substrate, wherein said pressure sensitive adhesive is comprised of a first surface and a second surface, and said pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed between a first release liner substrate and a second release liner substrate, and wherein;
i. said first release liner substrate is removed from said pressure sensitive adhesive, exposing said first surface, andii. said first surface is first attached to said substrate with pressure, andiii. said second release liner substrate is removed from said pressure sensitive adhesive, exposing said second surface, andiv. said second surface is then used to attach said ceramic decal to said substrate with pressure.
