Baking is a method for curing of inks and stoving lacquers , absorb on materials which are not capable of the color. To do this, the painted or printed object with the color that has not yet set is placed in the cold oven and slowly heated to the baking temperature. This is how the color combines without tearing. The result is a smudge-proof and robust coating or print .

Epoxy resin paints, for example, are baked at temperatures of 160 to 200 degrees.

The baking of printing inks and lacquers should not be confused with the black burning of copper and cast iron and the patination of aluminum or the varnish firing as a decorative and artistic surface technology on copper materials, all of which are carried out at higher temperatures and with the application of oils.
