Product Details

Product Information

All you need is:

  • The special transfer paper
  • A HP or Canon Black and White only Laser Printer (see below)
  • Access to a kiln.

This pack of 10 x 216 x 279mm (US standard paper size) sheets comes with easy to follow step by step instructions.

Also included is a ramp and hold firing chart for firing glass in a ceramic kiln. Use a black and white printer to print images or text onto the photo fusing paper and then fuse the image directly onto your glass work resulting in a vintage sepia effect. It is possible to add colour to your images by adding enamels or glass powders either on top of or under the image.

See the pdfs for more information.

These decals are not suitable for firing onto glass with a coating e.g. iridised glass.

Printers that work for fusing images on glass: 

Many HP or Canon (no other brands) black-only laser printer, copier or fax machines work as long as it has no capability for printing in colour.  If printing photographs you may want to get a machine that can print 1200 dpi, however 600dpi is a good quality print.  You do not need an expensive machine, but be sure it has a manual feed tray. Customers have recommended the HP Laser Jet Pro M15A with original toner.  We use the HP Laserjet P2035 with the Original CE505A Black Laserjet Laser Toner Cartridge.

It is the toner cartridge that is the most important factor in whether it will work. It must contain 30-60% iron oxide. According to our research the following toner cartridges should work:

  • HP CE505A (the one we use here and the one we recommend)
  • HP CF244A (fits the M15A printer recommended by other customers)
  • HP 87A (fits the M501 printer recommended by other customers)
  • HP 51A (fits printers recommended by paper manufacturer)
  • HP 53A (fits printers recommended by paper manufacturer)
  • Canon 719 Black (fits printers recommended by paper manufacturer)
Health & Safety

Warning: Do not ingest or inhale. Use adequate ventilation to minimise exposure to fumes and vapours during heating or kiln firing. Product not recommended for food surfaces unless capped with Bullseye clear glass.

How To Apply Decals

Customers love this decal transfer paper for glass fusing, praising the "lovely sepia tone" and excellent results on various glass colors. Shoppers report pieces "sold the moment we put them in the window." Note: HP LaserJet 107w printer incompatible. US Letter paper size (not A4) may cause printer issues. Works on enamel. Most find it worth the investment despite initial setup considerations.

Really great product.



My advice is change the paper size in whatever computer program you're using before setting up and printing. You'll have no left over blank bits and everything will fit perfectly!



-Photoshop it's in U.S paper and the size is 'letter.'

-In Microsoft Word go to file, click page set up then choose U.S Letter

Please do not buy the HP Laserjet 107w printer. The ink cartridge is not suitable to use with this transfer paper as I found out after purchasing the printer. After contacting Warm Glass because the images were blank after firing they have now updated their guidance regarding suitable ink cartridges. Thank you Warm Glass for being proactive and updating the information regarding this issue, sadly I now need to purchase a different printer.

Can you use the decal paper on enamel in an enamel kiln?

WARM GLASs REPLY: Yes you can. Fire the enamels first then apply the decal and fire again according to instructions.

Though not listed as a compatible printer, it works with an HP LaserJet 4 using a genuine HP toner cartridge. US letter paper size is an irritation. Sufficient information provided with paper so book is not essential.



WARM GLASS RESPONDED: Instructions are provided with the paper too - the book is intended more as a guide with ideas & projects

I am really impressed with this product. The sepia tone is lovely and if you print it onto the back of a transparent blue glass, then it appears black. The only slight issue is that it comes in a US-sized paper, almost A4 but not quite, which has meant I chopped off a photo as my printer only likes A4. Overall though, I love this product.

I love this product, I accidentally printed on the tissue paper first time, but peeled it off and reprinted and it was FAB! The pieces sold the moment we put them in the window! The picture prints darker than on the screen - thats Normal , DO NOT lighten them up. Worth the expense, the first page pays for the pack and more.
