I am a Ba student doing an honours year and I am currently hoping
to write an academic exercise on the topic "The tranfer and production of
photographic images on ceramic surfaces."
I have come across readings on using KOR (Kodak ortho-resist emulsion) and
KPR (Kodak photo-resist emulsion) as a sensitizing material to be used on
glazed surfaces. However, I believe these two products are no longer in
production. Since these materials were previously used for photo-sensiti-
zing circuit boards back in the 70s and 80s, I thought I should find out what
companies are using to sensitize circuit PCB boards now... I found out that
some are using this material called Probimer,produced by Ciba-Geigey. I
tried asking the people at Ciba-Geigey for more info, but they do not know
if it works for ceramic surfaces or not.
Question: Does anyone out there know id this Probimer material can be used
for sensitzing glazed ceramic surfaces? Does anyone have any alternative
substance or recommendations for sensitzing ceramic surfaces so that I can
ultimately expose either positives or negatives onto the ceramic surface
and fire it?
As I am really new, although I am really interested in this union between
photography and ceramics, I am really looking forward to people sharing
their experiences with me...
In anticipation for a reply...
