There has been provided a method for manufacture of decals wherein the decal is printed with an offset rotogravure process utilizing solventless thermoplastic inks. By controlling the temperatures of the gravure rolls, the offset rolls and the back-up rolls, a continuous process is maintained which is capable of printing all layers of a decal without intermediate drying steps. The decal produced and claimed is, in a preferred embodiment, a ceramic heat release decal especially suited for the manufacture of decorated tableware.
