Re: OMG silly prices on ebay

<t>This is something that will probably drive most of us crazy. On a none sublimation related note, people sell rubiks cubes for like £2 with free postage. A rubiks cube is going to cost £2.20 to ship as its a packet? On top of this they have to pay ebay/paypal fees and then theres the cost if the ...

Re: Mug Image Position

I use a 539x255px canvas to put the images on (anything wider and I get faded edges) so to double the image up on this size canvas I'd have to lower the height too much.

Re: Mug Image Position

<r>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I've been given an image which is not wide enough to wrap around a mug properly, but it is too big to double the picture up so it appears on both sides.<br/>
So I was wondering would you put the image in the center of the mug (parrallel to the handle) or over to one of the sides ...

Re: Alternative tape for mug press

I use the 5mm brown heat tape from ebay and I've had no problems whatsoever. Whack it in a tape dispenser to save fiddling around and fold over the end of one of your strips to make it easier to peel off after pressing.

Did you get to the point of having the S22 working with Paul's ICC profile - I would have thought this should have given you good enough results, if the ink you were using was OK.<br ...

Re: Image too complex to press?

<t>Hi again,<br/>
<br/>
I have gone out and bought some better quality mugs, better paper and a brand new printer. I went and bought the Richo SG3110DN which so far seems brilliant. I just have one more question, which is what printer settings should I be using? Firstly what should the print quality ...

Re: Ebay Inks

<t>I can vouch for the fact that this seller has caused me some head aches. I didn't buy the complete set up from him as it was way over priced, I just bought the inks and I've been having all kinds of trouble with my printouts. I appreciate RaDecal Graphics help. He is looking out for us beginners ...

Re: Image too complex to press?

Yeah I think you're right I'll wait for the ICC profile and order some better paper. The mugs will have to do for now since I orderd 72 of them, rookie error LOL!

and haha it's not my logo but I'll be sure to let the guy know :cool:

Re: Hi there

Thank you for the welcomes

I will no doubt become a premium member next week some time, especially since I'm starting to find out that the cheap papers etc aren't turning out to be up to much. - Scratch that I decided to just do it now
