The Duncan Color
Line Rationalization 2004
As the market
constantly changes we realize that in order to keep our color line
current and profitable for Duncan and all our partners we must review
color palettes and product lines.
Our goal is to
provide you with the most sought after color choices while maintaining
the integrity of our “Balanced Palette”. In order to reflect these
changes, we will produce new support materials throughout 2004. We
made sure ColorWorks remained virtually untouched with minimal
eliminations.

Duncan enterprises
(our supplier whom we distribute for) has shaken up their whole product
line. Here are some of the changes they have made:
Duncan Acrylic and Non-Fired
Color
Technology has assisted us in development of a “super
can do it all” acrylic that has allowed us to finally
consolidate our two popular acrylic lines.
Due to improvements in our base formula we have merged the NT
Natural Touch Dry brushing Acrylic Palette into the OS Bisq-Stain
Opaque Acrylics. Random
consumer testing was conducted last fall using the new formula against
existing OS and NT formulas and results overwhelmingly approved the
new formulation over existing formulas, for coverage, clarity, brush
ability and dry brushing. We found the new formula gave us color that
was crisper, clearer and true.
After the green light
resulting from consumer testing we moved to create a more complete
acrylic palette. The OS line being the most popular of our acrylic lines
was selected as the host for the new and improved one-stop acrylic
ceramic paint. The OS
palette needed little adjustment as we worked to create the new
palette, we added 11 favorite NT color values not seen in the OS line
and we also converted a few popular OS colors available only in 1 oz.
The OS “Rationalized Palette” includes Pale, Soft, Natural,
Toned and Dark Color Values as before.
Stains and Antiquing Gels
The most difficult of decisions with product line rationalization
was to make the move away from the NS Natural Tint Translucent Stains
product line and convert popular colors to the TS Oil-Based
Translucent Stains. The TS line was first developed with the idea that
it would replace the NS line, this move never transpired until today.
In keeping in line with our goal to produce products that adhere to
ASTM D-4236 Non-Toxic Standards we decided that it was time to make
the move. Five of the most popular NS colors like the “Famed”
Pecan Sparkle will be made available in the TS line with a new
non-toxic formulation.
The WG line is also getting a “face-lift” by adding three new
metallic formulations and moving the Patina Green to a TS formula.
Metallic are HOT and we are supporting this trend by extending our WG
metallic offering. The remaining WG colors will be discontinued. The
WG line will also convert to a 2oz squeeze bottle from the 2oz jar.
Fired Glazes: Lead
Free Opaque, Translucent and Speckled Glaze
Like with the underglaze offering we found a fantastic opportunity
to organize the palettes of our Envision fired color line.
The first and most obvious opportunity was to separate the
Translucent, Opaque and Speckled Offerings, making color selection
easier. The end result is
a complete Lead Free Glaze color offering.
Translucent
Envision Glaze was most complete line when separated from the Opaque
and Speckled offering, we found that we needed only two new colors to
complete the palette. The Opaque Envision line when separated from the
others was the line with obvious “holes” in the color offering; as
a result we developed 13 new colors to balance the Opaque palette.
The
Speckled Envision colors were divided into two groups, Speckled with a
clearer base and Flannel with a more matte base.
Both of these palettes are what we would call “Fashion
Palettes” colors are tied directly to trends in the market place and
recommended by Color Marketing Group, CMG.

The only other change to our Non-Toxic Fired Color line was with
the Sandstar Glazes with 8 discontinued colors.
All other Non-Toxic Fired Color products remain the same.
Duncan
Professional Fired Color
These
products are only for use by professional Ceramic Artists that know
how to properly use them in order to avoid injury or health risks.
These products conform to the ASTM – D4236 CAUTION seal, indicating
that the products in this line are properly labeled with information
on the safe and proper use of the product and have undergone a
toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to indicate any known
health risks resulting from improper use.
As with the Envision line, the opportunity to better represent
colors by putting translucent with translucent and opaque with opaque
was apparent with the GL Gloss Glaze and GO Gallery Opaque Glaze color
lines. All GL Translucent
colors will now be represented together.
GL Opaque and the entire GO line will be represented together
due to their similar characteristics.
GO numbers will not change on the label.

Underglaze
/ Where the Magic of Fired Color Begins!
Our largest opportunity
was to improve the organization of the color palettes for E-Z Strokes
and Cover-Coats.
The second opportunity in response to consumer requests was to
improve packaging for the Cover-Coat line, from the 2oz jar to the 2oz
squeeze bottle. Concepts, the first of the Duncan lines to have a
balanced palette was left in tact.
