Bat-printing.
（Porcelain.) One mode of porcelain printing; the other is termed press-printing (which see). The former is printed on glazed ware, the latter on the biscuit. In bat-printing the lines of the engraving are fine, and the impression is taken in linseed-oil on a thin slab of gelatine cut to the size. The oil having been transferred to the glazed ware by pressing the gelatine against it, is next dusted with the metallic color by means of cotton-wool. The color is melted and fixed in an enamel-kiln.
