Metal Mugs

[photoscape]

i know these have an official name but cant remember what it is, basically i was wondering if anyone knows a supplier of the enamel tin cups and if they can be sublimated on. basically im a steam rail photographer and the white enamel cups with a blue rim are a railway thing and if i can find a supplier im hoping my contact in a big musuem will buy them lol

I have someone who has been asking for these as well. I've been looking for a blanks importer and to then get them coated myself. No luck so far.

thats an example of the type of mug i want to put photos on

[Andrew]

Yep, that's the one I want as well. Time to look for an importer of them I guess so I can try one under the heat of printing. How many are you after?

I believe you can buy a coating that will allow this. Ask bms he's the man you need.

Thanks for the recommendation, but we don't stock/ sell a coating for self coating.

They wouldn't need to be coated if you used TMT CPM6.2 transfer papers - with the use of a laser printer you can print onto uncoated products.

Never been keen on the tmt options. They look slow and often work out costly. If I get a batch coated then they could just be the same cost as printing a standard mug. I'm not a big fan of tmt as a company so might not have given the process enough of a chance.
