Ceramic Camping Mug - What temp and time?

[UK Printed Mugs]

Followed 190c and 185s instructions for ceramic camping mugs (orca) on our Adkins Studio Mug Press but print wasn't very vibrant and faded. Tinkered a little with times but couldn't improve. Any one doing these (mug press or oven) who would share method please?

Oven tends to be easier for these due to having to keep them to the edge of a mug press. With a press we had them in for at least 240s but then you still need to find the parameters of the print area that works for you. It is a bit like the Spartas where they hang out of the press so that end gets more heat loss during printing. Ovens do solve the issue and print as normal.

What are your times in the oven please?

We never changed times for this so your standard settings that work for Durhams. I'd have to check what ours are but no special settings for this mug. The enamel version we gave less time to in the oven.
