Have just pressed my first mug with my BMS mug press unfortunately I think the colour should be sharper and clearer. See photos. I pressed at 190 degrees Celsius for 90 seconds. Using an Epsom printer and Inkscape for drawing. Anyone out there using a BMS with any tips.

Have you got an ICC profile for your printer? What paper are you using? Also pull up a chair grab a large cup of coffee or tea and have a good look through this wonderful forum and you will find may posts about this issue. Good luck.

I second Quinsfan.
Now it may sound like we are being awkward....but I promise you we aren't.
All the information is already on the forum in great detail, all you have to do is sit back, search and read....warning there is a lot to read!
You will gain all the information you need and possibly have a good giggle at some of the comments on route.

I would be more concerned about the lettering changing colour.

I have a Epson A3 with a custom ICC and ink I thought was great,
A few weeks ago I bought a Ricoh
The Epson hasn't been used since I got the Richo
You will get good results with a Epson and a custom ICC, but better results with a machine built for sublimation

Didn't spot that. What is going on there?

[Quinsfan]

Also why isn't the image mirrored on the paper?

Thanks for all your responses. The print out was a test to check size and colour. I did change the colour of the writing before reversing the image before printing for sublimation. The printer is an Epsom ICC compatible. I will look at temperature and heat press time. Again many thanks to all to have responded.

If you are using Epsom, then I would suggest you get an Epson printer instead! Epsom is where they have Horse racing!
