Mixture

Use mask, Gloves and eye protection when mixing. The TI02 is a fine powder and you really don’t want to breath it in. Make sure you have cardboard down or in a workspace you don’t care about as the TI02 will make things white.

Clean Tiles

Before you start you need to clean the tiles. Clean with the alcohol or you can use paint thinner or mineral spirits.

Spray

You’re going to Spray 2 coats evenly on the tiles. Start from top to bottom and start spraying before the tile and go side to side. Let 1st coat dry (time depends on area). You can use a hair dryer or leave in sun. After it dries, do a second coat going top to bottom. With the green food coloring you tile should be easy to tell it got coated.

Process File Imag-R

There are many ways to process a file but this seems very easy to me.

1.Goto Imag-r.com

2. Scroll down some till you see all your controls

Make note as this is where all the buttons are you will need to start with.

Select Upload box. Choose Grayscale. Choose your picture you want to use. Be patient as it may take a second to do something.

Scroll down and image should be loaded.

3. Crop image to square or rectangle to match tile.

4. Resize Image

Make sure you put the right size here as this is very important. I’m using 6 inch tiles so I will choose Inches for measurements and change height and width to 6.1 inches. This gives me a little overlap. DPI - Most Falcons like 254 so I would suggest to try that 1st. You can always do a DPI test and see what works best for you.

5. On left side of screen you will see bunch of options

I use Auto Adjustment myself and seems to work great. Click Run and let it do its magic.

6.Material button

We are going to select Norton, then Norton White Tile and click OK.

NOTE. If you look at the image now, it will look all grainy. This is what it’s supposed to look like.

8. Time to download

That’s right, click the download button and choose PNG.

9. Time to move over to Lightburn

Lightburn

1. First thing you do is run a material test. If you have not done one or know how to do one, Click Here.
2. Import Image into Lightburn. On top click file – Import and select the file you down loaded
3. Whatever you do don’t resize image here. It will mess up your Imag-r setting.
4. In cuts / layers, click it to open window. Add Speed and Power from material test that works best for your image. Turn on Overscaning 2.5 - 5 works great. Make sure Pass-Though is selected.

   

5. That’s it! Frame it and send it.
6. After it’s done, just rinse with water and maybe some soap and your good to go.
7. You can spray with a clearcoat if you like

Side Note – If your doing a simple image that is traced out like this one below, No Imag-r needed. Just set your power and speed from darkest setting from material test .

Good Luck and Happy Making!!
