When enquired last year the Kodak photo resist was still available.

I have kept quiet as I thought everybody was talking about 'straight'
photographic images on 3 D surfaces.

There is no great difficulty in applying either carbon images or ordinary gum
prints to tiles in biscuit and then glazing and firing them without any need for
special resists. I have done both to see whether I could do it but no great
commissions have arisen.
