Looks more lika a painting...or either printed on a transfer sheet, then applied to the tiles...

Nope I have checked it carefully printed on the tiles.

I googled "inkjet print on ceramic tiles" and saw a number of options. Inkjet transfer methods and direct printers. Didn't feel like actually researching it further so have fun and let us know if you find a local supplier!

I have a mate who worked for a large format printing house, apparently they can print on anything you want. He even said you can bring your door and they will print it.

I know they printed some ceiling tiles for a number of clients (Sistine Chapel anyone?).

Looks like sublimation printing, u tile the picture u want to print then print each one on sublimation paper . u use a heat press to transfer the pic to a tile (special tile that has been treated ) http://www.jgelectronics.com/
we use it for mugs ect

Thank you Raymond got hold of an company in Midrand that does sublimation printing and had a sample printed.
Also got hold of local suppliers of printers and presses also suppliers of contineous ink systems that could be used to convert my current Epson printers. Would not like to convert current printers as it would not be a good idea to use the same printer with normal ink and sublimation ink alternatly.

A bit expensive at this stage but something to add to my wish list.
