Ceramic decals mockups
A ceramic decal is printed on transfer paper, laid on the mug and fired, so the print ends up inside the glaze. PreviewFly renders flat spot colours under the glaze's own gloss: the reflection runs over the print as it does over the mug.

Ceramic decals, asked often
Decal or sublimation on a mug?
Sublimation dyes the coating and can't print white; a decal is opaque ink fired into the glaze. Render both on the same mug and compare.
