Galaxy gs-210 latte attachment

[srobbo71]

Hi all, after much reading I think I have decided to buy a Galaxy gs-201 mug press as a starter machine. Does anyone know if the latte attachment is easily available as I can't seem to find them on any of the seller sites. Thanks

I hope you understand the intricacies of wire frame distortion if not you are in for a steep learning curve :rolleyes:

Absolutely not a clue :rolleyes: Is that relevant to the latte mugs or all mug printing?

Just latte mugs

Thank goodness for that lol, I'm hanging fire with latte mugs for some time. I just wanted to be sure I could get the attachment when I'm ready to move onto them, will be some time from the sound of it! Thanks for mentioning the problems as I wouldn't have considered it.

Yes, latte mugs are conical in shape so the wrap you print has to have all text and graphics distorted to fit a circular segment. Twist some paper into a cone, draw a line horizontally around the circumference, then open it up and you'll see what I mean.

You can warp things in Photoshop, but there are better programs to do the job.

Just thinking, and I've never tried this, but it may be possible to record a Photshop Action to do the distortion, then all you need do is group all your graphics and apply the Action.
