Beforetime stamps in ceramics were done in an expensive and longstanding execution. Nowadays, stamping is developed by digital printers which grant high-quality images. This work characterizes inks by x-ray diffraction, reflectance spectroscopy in the UV-Visible, scanning electron microscopy, RAMAN and thermal analysis, determining phases, colorimetric parameters, microstructural agglomeration, thermal stability and band gap values. Thus, the results help to understand how the parameters influence in the digital print quality of ceramic coatings.
