One more problem ..... Any ideas ?

[Lornem]

Bought a mug press, along with a flat press from a firm off a link on eBay, flat press I'm getting the hang of, but have gone through 20 mugs trying to get it to transfer evenly, it fades towards the top and bottom of mug, I have tried every pressure from loose to just about breaking the mug ... Does anyone have any idea's please ?

Thanks

Lorne

and Time and temp you used? This is more important then presure imo.

[Lornem]

Bought mugs off BMS and following guide given by them, tried higher temp in 5 degree increments and a couple longer in , but same result, or should they be coming down ?

[kevin.m.]

just a thought and don't know whether it would work but instead of wasting so many mugs why not try doing perhaps 1" vertical strips on the mug and then doing the next pressing further round the mug, you should be able to get about 5 / 6 vertical strips to test your setup and to get it near to the mark before trying a full mug

Lornem where in West Yorkshire are you? I'm in Bradford & if your local maybe I could come & try to help you out some time.

My home is in featherstone, but I'm a coach driver and work away every week ( Llandudno this week ) a two week tour of Ireland twice in the next month, my so is the one at the machine and I'm relaying everything to him, but will keep it in consideration if that's ok

Gonna ring the firms technical department tomorrow, if no joy, they have it says a great returns policy, so might ask for the money back and have a go at a different machine, I know it's not a lot, but any recommendations for a machine about £150 ?

[John G]

What kind of press is it and what's the company called - did you get the printer sorted as I thought you where having problems ?

[Lornem]

Hi.... It's an ace DMP 4 from apparel craft equipment , apart from that all other stuff supplied by BMS, followed their every instructions for the stuff I used, as I said it just seems to fade out top and bottom of mug

[Lornem]

Printer sorted John , thanks very much, just me being a total amateur about it all, and looking a total div
