I use Ox mugs from Signzworld. I get these marks on 40% of the mugs always along the bottom part of the mugs. It is killing me. How can I stop it?

Hard to see on photo but it looks like you're printing full print to the bottom? Have you tried bringing the image back up a couple of mm? Could be that that section isn't coated.

I really want a print right to the bottom. Are there any different mugs you suggest?

All mugs have a taper at the bottom so full print to the bottom can be tricky if you're using a mug press, easier in an oven. Personally I would prefer to leave a very small gap at the bottom so it complements the top and also the gaps next to the handle but that's just my opinion.

You'd need to test different mugs, Xpres XP5013 are probably one of the better ones now but you'll need a second mortgage to buy them the way pricing is going.

I would still suggestion trying just a very small gap at the bottom just to see if this helps the issue you are having anyway.
