Salt Lake City-based Regency Royale Inc. has been selected as the exclusive distributor for Utah, Wyoming and Idaho by Imagine Tile, a company which has developed a process whereby photographic images can be glazed into ceramic tile.

According to the Jersey City, New Jersey-based concern, the process is similar to the way a printer applies ink to a page, yet when the image is glazed into the ceramic tile at extremely high temperatures, the glaze and the tile literally fuse. Textures, photos, illustrations and three dimensional images can be reproduced on tile.

The tiles are rated for heavy commercial and can be used indoors or outdoors, on floors or walls, are frost and waterproof, unaffected by ultraviolet rays, and are abrasion and chemical resistant.
