Abstract:
An electrostatographic method for producing a master image for decorating ceramic, enamel or glass objects comprising the steps of:providing a temporary support having a surface with release properties,image-wise depositing charged toner particles, with a volume average particle size d.sub.v, such that 5 .mu.m<d.sub.v <15 .mu.m and including a resin and, dispersed in said resin, particles of a ceramic pigment, CP, said particles of ceramic pigment having a volumetric particle size distribution such that 90% of said particles of ceramic pigment have a diameter lower than 2/3 times d.sub.v andproviding particles of glazing material, having a volumetric particle size distribution such that 90% of said particles of glazing material have a diameter lower than 2/3 times d.sub.v, in said master image.
