Porcelain portrait customization
In addition to custom tombstone services, we also offer porcelain portrait customization for headstones. Porcelain portraits are a timeless and heartfelt way to permanently commemorate your loved ones. Our customization service aims to provide clients with a unique and personalized approach to decorating and enhancing tombstones, allowing for a deeper emotional connection when remembering their loved ones. We can create porcelain portraits in various sizes and styles based on clients’ requirements and seamlessly integrate them into the tombstone’s design to ensure harmony with the overall aesthetic. Whether it’s a traditional portrait, landscape image, or specific symbols or patterns, we can tailor the porcelain portrait to meet and exceed our clients' needs and expectations.
- Design and Model Creation: Clients provide us with high-resolution digital photos. Based on the size of the tombstone, we select an appropriate portrait size and create a preview design for client approval.
- Material Selection and Preparation: Upon approval, the production process begins. We prepare the porcelain surface by polishing and treating it to ensure a smooth and flawless finish.
- Porcelain Portrait Creation: Using a specialized laser color printer, the client's photo is printed onto a transfer sheet, which is then carefully applied to the porcelain piece.
- Firing: The porcelain piece is placed in a high-temperature kiln, with the temperature and duration precisely controlled to match the porcelain material. This process ensures the portrait develops a hard, durable structure, enhancing its longevity and stability.
- Completion and Quality Inspection: After production, the porcelain portrait undergoes a thorough quality check to ensure there are no visible defects and that it meets the expected standards. Only then is the finished portrait delivered to the client.
