This is the process that I use to transfer photographic images onto pottery clay. It can be used to create different colored images and can be fired at different temperatures.
If you'd like to give this technique a try, you can check out my guide here, it has a list with links to the materials you would need. Let me know how it goes.

There is another method of image transfer that also works great, but it’s always a sepia image, because it’s basically fired on iron oxide. It’s a specially coated paper that you laser print. The printer has to be a black-only laser printer that has iron oxide/ferrite in the toner (mainly Canon and HP models). Once printed, you put the printed paper in water, so the coating/film separates from the paper. You use this film like a water slide decal. You apply it to a fully glaze fired piece and bisque fire it again.
Search for fired-on images (youtube deletes my comment if I share the link), they sell this paper, explain how it works and have a list of worldwide distributors. They also have a long list of working laser printer models. It’s an easy method and works very well.
