<t>Hi everyone back again........ just invested in a new laptop solely for this project, would photoshop elements 11 be ok for the mug printing i intend to do? photos/writing/pictures etc before i buy it i just want to make sure that particular programme should be enough to print mugs? any feedback ...

def using the shinier side of the paper, used powerdriver to print as well , havent tried a phto yet just writing.many thanks

Ok, ive just printed another test mug using powerdriver and black writing, the colour is dark grey and lightens as in goes down to the bottom of the mug going patchy, def getting better but still not right, i heated until 160 degress before putting mug in press this time and run for 180 seconds

ive just put the 2 mugs together and the one i over over heating is completly gold but the one i did this morning is a brown?? may be i need to cut the tempreture down even more? and then may stay black?

<t>Hi thanks Justin for all your help , im turning into a pain now sorry, the paper is the one coralgraph send out with the kit i bought however i did also buy a more expensive paper to use once i had everything running right. i have noticed on the non printed side of the paper that actually toughes ...

i then get a lovely gold mug when printing black

<t>Hi Justin, i heathed the press up to 180 degrees with a blank mug clamped in the press, then when at 180 i replaced the mug with the mug to be printed with the print paper attched, then clamped that mug for 180 seconds and straight after 180 seconds took the mug out and took the paper off the mug ...

will using the powerdriver make the ink colour better as i just printed another mug using the old pre powerdriver print i had but tried the new settings on the pres but still the black came out gold! ?

im really confused , ha ha , i think i need tuition onthese programmes. i though i was computerish literate but now understand im useless............ gonna buy photoshop and pay for someone to come round and show me how to make templates etc.

many thanks looking at it now
