What do you do with your reject mug prints? Fortunately I don't have a lot of rejects these days - but I do have a few that have mounted up over the years. I don't really know what to do with them other than throw them in the bin. I'm sure there must be a better way.

<r>One thing I tried, which seemed to work was to fold a small sheet of paper and taped it to the inside of door to the cartridges. I think someone somewhere else suggested that the error could be to do with "lack of pressure". So I theorized that it could be to do with the firmness of the cartridge ...

Ok, now about these ovens .....................! I tend not to use my mug presses very often now, much preferring my halogen oven, which always gives me great, top-to-bottom, handle-to-handle sharp-edged prints. The oven totally ...

<t>What I've found out as a relative newbie is that mug pressing is not an exact science. This is what I've discovered - mostly the hard way, but also from reading on this forum.<br/>
