Abstract: A kind of red ceramic ink with appropriate color and qualified properties was prepared by solution of metallic salts method.The effects of composition of ceramic ink and basic glaze on chromatic performance were investigated.The color mechanism was discussed by analyzing the sintered ceramic surface with the ink.Results show that the properties can meet the requirement of ink-jet printers such as surface tension,viscosity,pH and so on.The ink has excellent chromatic performance on the high calcium transparent basic glaze when the ratio of Cr/Sn is 0.04∶1.
