| Kate Larsson Studio Gifts Watercolor Artist - Gig Harbor, WA |
8"x 10" CERAMIC ART TILES/TRIVETS: American made in my Gig Harbor Studio. Any standard
image on the website is available. I take digital pictures of my watercolor originals and reproduce the image on
an ink jet printer using special dye sublimation inks. The image is then merged with the ceramic tile by use of a
400 degree heat press. Then a "picture frame" back is attached which allows you to hang the tile, stand the tile
up or lay the tile flat and use as a trivet.
Art Tiles / Trivets are $40 2 (Same) for $35 Each.

PERMANENT INSTALLATION – HOME REMODELING OR CONSTUCTION PROJECTS: A common use for dye-sublimated
tiles in is as part of a home remodeling or construction project. Typical uses tiles on these projects would be incorporation
into tile wall coverings, kitchen and bathroom back splashes, shower stalls, fireplace surrounds, and outdoor applications.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
My tiles are produced with specially formulated, UV resistant, inks and tough durable polymer coatings. However there are
specific applications where special consideration must be given before deciding to go ahead with a specific application. I do
not recommend against these applications, however the end user must satisfy himself or herself that the tiles are suitable
for the specific application they have in mind. I do not guarantee suitability for any specific project.
Outdoor applications: Dye Sublimation technology is new; the dyes used are specially formulated for UV resistance.
Samples have been subjected to accelerated life testing that indicates they will last at least 5 years in an outdoors
installation without fading. However these materials have not been around for 5 years as yet so it remains to be seen if they
will, in fact, last this long. In general I do not recommend installation of our products in an unprotected outside location.
Horizontal Surfaces: Mechanical wear is a problem for dye-sublimated tiles. The polymer coating is applied to a glazed
surface as a coating. If attacked with a sharp object, such as a razor, this coating can be scraped off. When cleaned with
abrasive cleaners the surface may be scratched.
Coatings on tiles and other sublimated materials can also be scratched by contact with rough objects such as unglazed clay
on the bottom of coffee cups. I do not recommend the use of these tiles for horizontal applications such as counter tops
where they will be subjected to high wear.
