If so you can get commercial film used in graphic arts to copy images using
an arc light for illumination.
Do you want a film or a liquid emulsion? Try silk screen suppliers for the
liquid.

Please rephrase your message.as it does not make sense in the English.

With my poor portugues and 2 portuguese dictionaries I translate this as:

Thank you for your quick response. I am trying to get a liquid emulsion
that is sensitive to ultra violet to hold powdered ceramic stain in place.I
understand that Kodak made, for many years, an emulsion called Cermifax
but has stopped making it. I also understand that there is an emulsion (?
probimer ?) made by Ciba-Geigey for photographs. I make photographs on
porcelain for the cemetaries. I have a very complicated process and would
like to get a much simpler one and I ask your advice. I await your reply.
Again many thanks for your quick response.

if it helps, we're talking transfers/decals here, I think...

Maybe if you have him translate his language into english at this site, it
would help you to help him.

http://www.freetranslation.com/default.htm?tab=text

Or at this one

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

What it seems in the email he is wanting to do, is create decals or print
onto ceramic then fire it, using photographs as the master.

Would seem that he wants to make a negative of the photograph, then make a
positive on a decal type medium, which he then could fire onto a ceramic
burial urn, or other ceramic products.

Searching for "fotoceramica", came up with quite a few sites that put
photographs onto ceramics.

http://www.artigiani.vi.it/benvenuti/homepage.htm

http://www.fotoceramicacosta.it/index.htm

Probimer is a solder masking product, for masking off areas of a electronic
circuit board from accepting solder when wave soldered. About all I can
figure that he might have used it for, would be masking areas to not be
exposed when exposed to ultra violet light when making a screen for inks.
Perhaps using it for each color plate, then meshing the plates and firing.

Another way of looking at the problem would be Ink/Dye Sublimation or
Transfer Printing. Although this would take them away from the electronics
materials, unless they were using the conductive inks.

Perhaps you might direct him to research this.

http://www.in-print.org.uk/essays/scott-ess.shtml

http://www.grzybowski-kg.com/enggrzyb/historye.htm

And on a side note, if they had a process that worked, only now wants one
that is simpler to implement (only needing more common materials, perhaps a
loss of sources of materials, yes I know Gertsy B.), Probimer is manfactured
by many companies, it is not a product that is hard to get. Perhaps, if they
researched other suppliers, they could find a new source.

looks like a pretty good translation to my mind - the following web page
from SilverPrint (UK) might help. SilverPrint are one of the major UK
professional suppliers/wholesalers. They do mail order, but minimum order
value is £25. There is a downloadable catalogue in acrobat pdf format if
you hunt around.

it would be useful to know if we are talking black and white, or colour?

http://www.silverprint.co.uk/altproc1.html

I have heard of similar products, but can't find any trace at present - I'll
keep looking.

there is a brush on emulsion that can then be exposed and developed just as
darkroom print paper. not sure whether the web page I forwarded was that or
something similar. I also don't know how permanent the process is.

in UK, some developing companies offer to print colour on plates and mugs,
but I suspect that is a transfer process - looks nasty, so haven't looked. -
but I will now.

http://www.rockaloid.com/
http://www.rockaloid.com/products.html#liquid are interesting

let me know if you hear any more details

regards

Richard

PS Probimer seems to be used in the manufacture of semi-conductors...

Richard,
I am pretty sure that we are talking only black and white.
I saw some of these images when I was in Italy last May with the Martha
Selsor workshop. They are fine screen halftones on glazed porcelain blanks
and are displayed outdoors on grave markers and memorials. The ones I saw
were small - only 3 inches high - but had fine tone gradition.
I have corresponded with a gentleman in Romania who makes 50 of these a
week, he says and for ten dollars US each, so they are almost a commodity.
He says the customers want black and white.
I don't know exactly how they do this process but suspect it is a
derivitive of the gum-bichromate process of antiquity.
