Ceramic inks are simply carriers of ceramic fine particle metallic oxide pigments that are used in automatic application techniques. Inks must have a physical consistency suitable for producing fine detailing. Depending on the application technique, these mediums can be thick and flow like a printing ink or they can have a gel consistency that holds itself in place after application or they can be made from nano-size particle stains that stay in suspension in a highly fluid medium (for inkjet printing). They can be water or oil based. They may need to dry quickly, slowly and may not need to dry at all before firing.
