Ceramic pigments are inorganic salts, that is, metal compounds. The formation of its color is mainly due to the fact that its composition contains colorable metal elements, and it will finally be colored after being roasted at hundreds or more than a thousand degrees.
Because the metal elements that can be colored after high temperature are limited, the types of ceramic pigments are also limited, which cannot be compared with painting pigments and organic printing pigments.

When coloring, the blending principle of ceramic pigments is the same as that of organic printing pigments, but there are differences, and it cannot be rigidly applied. Ceramic pigments are divided into high-temperature and low-temperature pigments according to the conditions of use. High-temperature pigments refer to stable color development when the use temperature is 1000-1500 ° C. Most of them are used for glazes and blanks. At ℃, its color is stable. It is used on glaze. It is mostly used for screen printing decals and artistic porcelain painting. Its color types are slightly more than high-temperature pigments. Pigments with different temperatures cannot be matched with each other for color matching, and the color matching of pigments containing different metal elements is also subject to certain restrictions.
