One form of tile printing is a dye sublimation process that infuses either dye or glaze into a tile. This can be direct print or through heat transfer. Most commercial mugs and small tiles use this latter process. Another way is to transfer a picture onto tile in the form of a template and then hand paint the glaze. This is a long process which includes reduction of a picture into a small number of colors. The creation of a glaze palette that doesn't run together, isolation and enlargement of all the color regions, transferring the regions onto tile and then hand painting with a glaze. I am currently having a picture transferred onto tile this way. It is being done by Tile Canvases, pioneers in using this method.
