Anyone know if ceramic tiles will generally hold up print wise in outside conditions when printed. Thinking of printing them for attaching to outside walls as door numbers etc.

They would last about three months if in direct sunlight, if coated with frog juice maybe longer

the glass tiles, may stand up a little better, as the print is on the back, and so behind glass, so some of the sun's effects will be filtered out.

... can you clarify on whether you mean...
a) it has lasted 12 months, and still looks OK
or
b) it lasted 12 months before it faded and was illegible
thanks
