Re: UK Suppliers

Hi, could anyone tell me of a supplier of back stamp stickers. I bought a back stamp with my company's name on and appropriate ink but it fades badly after a few runs in a dishwasher . I've heard there's a company which does really good stickers, dishwasher resistant. Can any one help.

Re: Printing programs

<t>Hi I've been sublimation mugs for a while now and have gradually got busier. My problem is that I'm using Microsoft Paint to size my images on then when I put it to print it goes through the Windows programme. I size it in PAINT at 22cms x 9cms. Then when it comes out its around 18 x 8. I can go ...

Re: Mug press how close to the handle.

<r><QUOTE author="webtrekker;126008"><s>[QUOTE=webtrekker;126008]</s>Hi Louise. I've had the same problems myself with 2 different mug presses (admittedly not expensive ones, but otherwise ok), and eventually settled on using silicone oven wraps instead of a mug press whenever I needed a full image ...

Re: Mug press how close to the handle.

<t>Hi was wondering if anyone can tell me a mug press that prints up to the handle. I use a Galaxy double press and ive had no issues with it whatsoever. But still have 15 to 20mm space from the handle to the print either side. Sometimes it lets down the overall appearance of the mug and if I push ...

Re: Tape on mugs

<r><QUOTE author="webtrekker;125419"><s>[QUOTE=webtrekker;125419]</s>Thanks Louise, this is something I was beginning to wonder about myself. Maybe it's also the reason why silicone wraps in an oven often result in less fading at the edges as they are better than a mug press at sealing in the gasses ...

Re: Printing black tshirts

<r><QUOTE author="Earl Smith;125435"><s>[QUOTE=Earl Smith;125435]</s>You can only sublimate onto polyester and it has to be white or a very light colour. <br/>
Black and dark colours are out Im sorry to say. Your only hope if you only do subli work would be to subli print onto subli flock , cut this ...

Re: Printing black tshirts

<t>Hi ive been printing on mugs for a while now and have now gone on to tshirts having managed to get an Adkins press. Ive got some Russell tshirts supposedly ideal for sublimation. My first tshirt is black and I set the press for 60 seconds at 190. When it was finished though there was absolutely ...

Re: Tape on mugs

<t>.Hi I would just like to let people know who might be interested through having the same problem that I was having. Regarding printing on mugs down the edge of the print nearest to the handle the image would come out blurred or faint occasionally. It was actually a bit of a lottery. I increased ...

Re: Mug Press Temp

<r>Thanks Wetbrekker you were absolutely right . In fact ive copied your settings of 180 180 and its about has near to black has I can get without buying a very expensive ink. Apparently black is difficult to get right in sublimating. <QUOTE author="webtrekker;124898"><s>[QUOTE=webtrekker;124898]</s ...
