As above, are they a Victorian unglazed dust pressed ceramic, or a porcelain , if porcelain ,porosity around 0.05 an impregnating colour enhancer will not penetrate this and will sit only in the surface pores this could then traffic or go patchy with maintenance fairly quickly , not recommended
Pics would be good

Been doing these patterns for years
This will save me cutting it down my self

(Lino is completely different Is made of wood pulp and rapesead oil)
So is Amtico from the Old Amtico tree and Karndean from the Old Karndean quarry or are they both crude oil based products? So you basically are offering to install a by product of crude oil :)
