You can actually build a "Mac" these days with PC computer hardware. (Just install MacOs on it)
But you need to choose your parts carefully and only use the same as Mac does, now days they use the same stuff as everyone else.
You can save 40-50% off just to assemble it yourself. (won't look as pretty though)
Then you just sublimate an Apple and glue it on! (Just call it MyMac so you won't get sued)

And it's a good idea to make the image smaller, that way you can use the same wasted mug a good few times
Does that mean I can use a mug more than once in the press, If so I have wasted so many mugs. :(
Ride it like you stole it shiny side up.

no, i think what they mean, is that by using a smaller image rather than a full wrap, you can put several images on a clean part of the mug each time

It sounds as if you are just putting the mug in the press then starting the timer.
Put the mug in the press and wait until the temperature goes back up before starting timer.

We are having problems with printing images onto Mugs, the red is coming out either brown or orange, despite the fact that it comes out red on the paper.
Can anyone advise
