Note: This description is taken from information provided by Blythe Matthey and may or may not apply to stains of this family from other companies.

Suitable for all types of glazes. Best results are obtained with leadless or low-lead glazes having low alkali contents. Zircon opacifiers are preferred as they help prevent solution of the stain. This system is non-metameric and therefore minimizes the effects of different lighting conditions.
derglaze Color: Owing to great stability, may be used for all methods of underglaze decoration.
