Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Transfer mark decal firing workers use printed decals (transfer paper) on ceramics to transfer patterns and fix them by firing in a kiln.
Description
Transfer mark decal firing workers precisely attach pre-printed transfer paper to the surface of ceramics, dry it, and then fire it in a kiln to fix the decoration. The process includes selecting and cutting transfer paper, attaching it, drying, loading the kiln, and controlling temperature and atmosphere. Fine adjustments and inspections are required to maintain product quality. They handle both manual work and machinery for a wide range of products, from mass-produced items to high-end tableware and traditional crafts.
Future Outlook
While automation is advancing for mass-produced items, the demand for manual transfer decal application remains high for high-end ceramics and traditional crafts, and the need for skilled technicians is expected to remain stable.
