6 Reasons Artists Trust ColorFire Screen Printing Paste for Glass and Ceramics

As the only maker of ColorFire Screen Printing Paste worldwide, I’ve worked with fused glass artists, ceramicists, and painters who needed one thing: vibrant, reliable results on a wide range of surfaces. Whether you’re firing float glass or fine-tuning a layered COE 90 masterpiece, ColorFire delivers. Here’s why it stands apart.

1. Compatible with Float, COE 90, COE 96 & Ceramics

ColorFire Screen Printing Paste was formulated to be a true multi-surface solution. It prints cleanly on Float glass, COE 90, COE 96, and even ceramics—no guessing, no special tweaks. This compatibility makes it ideal for artists who fuse, slump, or mix media in their kiln work.

2. Flexible Firing Range: 1100°F to 1450°F

Whether you’re tack fusing delicate lines or going for a full fuse, ColorFire handles it all. Its recommended firing range—1100°F to 1450°F (595°C to 785°C)—gives you total control. ColorFire enamel paste maintains rich color across firing styles, so you can use it for anything from sun catchers to sushi plates.

3. No Mixing Needed – Just a Quick Stir

Say goodbye to powdered enamel clouds and inconsistent results. ColorFire comes pre-mixed in a smooth, ready-to-use paste. After sitting in the jar, it may need a quick stir—just like any professional screen ink. Because it’s blended with the right proportions of ColorFire enamels and medium, you can start printing in seconds. No measuring, no mess.

4. A Mixable Rainbow of Colors

From Jet Black and Aurora Red to vivid greens and earthy browns, ColorFire offers 12 colors that are fully mixable. Blend your own palette without losing opacity or vibrancy—even after firing.

5. Smooth, Honey-Like Consistency

One of the most praised features of ColorFire paste is its honey-like texture. This consistency makes it easy to pull smooth, sharp prints through fine mesh silk screens. Whether you’re printing fine line drawings or solid blocks of color, ColorFire responds beautifully to pressure and motion.

6. Food-Safe After Firing

When fired properly, ColorFire enamel paste becomes a food-safe surface, making it ideal for plates, platters, and functional glassware. Artists using Rogue in their dinnerware lines can rest easy knowing their pieces are both beautiful and safe to use.

Why I Created ColorFire

As an artist myself and owner of Fuse Muse Fused Glass, I saw a gap in the market: there wasn’t a high-quality, pre-mixed screen printing paste that could hold up in a kiln. So I created it. Each jar of ColorFire is hand-crafted with care and tested in real-world kiln conditions—because I know that reliability matters to working artists.
