Paper Type 

Use this function to select the paper type. 
In the [Feature Sets] list, select [Paper Type], and then, in the [Media Type] list, select the paper 

type you want to use for printing.  You should select [Plain 1], as it is the only media setting that 

will allow 1200x1200 resolution. 

Print Quality 

Use this function to select the print quality. 
In the [Feature Sets] list, select [Imaging], and then, in the [Print Quality] list, select the print 

quality. 
Select [1200 × 1200 dpi]. 

Remember to select Reverse Print or Mirrored Print from your application before you print on 

the blue decal paper, as you will need the image to be mirrored to have it transfer (toner side 

down) to your ceramic surface correctly.  This is not necessary if you print on plain water slide 

decal paper and use the blue spray cover coat. 

  

 

Media Considerations 

There are many different types of decal media available.  The ceramic toner that comes 

with the CerPrint 3500 does not contain flux and was developed for use in combination 

with the special blue printing paper (US Patent no. 9,333,789) included with your 

CerPrint 3500.  When used together, they will produce consistent, high quality results, 

and best fired to 1550-1600 degrees F.  The black toner will begin to degrade at 

temperatures higher than 1650F.  You may wish to experiment with lower firing 

temperatures if you wish to achieve a matte finish, rather than a gloss finish. 

 

Printing is another consideration when using decal media.  Some media have a tendency 

to bubble and actually come off as they go through the fuser of a laser printer.  The 

CerPrint 3500 has been pre-set to work with the paper provided.  We have seen papers 

that jam immediately in the fuser, due to the decal film melting from the heat of the 

fuser.  The blue stock included with your printer should not stick to the fuser. 

 

NOTE:  It is very important that you remove the protective cover sheet from the decal 

side of the paper.  On some papers, it is very difficult to distinguish this sheet from the 

actual decal stock.
