# New era for screen printing

David Forrester Zamith explains how ceramic decals have been reborn due to CTS technology. The history of ceramics goes back to antiquity. The expression ‘ceramics’ relates to the Greek symbol for clay, which is the Greek word keramos – pottery. The Chinese were the first to invent white, translucent hard-paste porcelain under the Tang dynasty (618–907AD) when they learned to fire a mixture of china clay and china stone at very high temperatures.
