NOT PRINTING FULL MUG - PLEASE HELP

[Paul]

how far from the handles you can print? some press just cant do it. most of the cheap ones can print about 1.5cm from handle on each side.

i am printing my template out at 3 1/2" height & 8 1/2" width,but cannot really explain it,it prints to the mug fine around most of the mug but seems to not stick to the mug around the top or bottom or sides of the handle's as well as he rest of the mug,there seems to be more ink still left on the paper ??,ill have another few attempts tomorrow & let you know how i get on...thanks all....

go for more preasure. try heavy one. and post some pics is this same problem as Robert described in his post?

The ink should sit on the shiny surface of the paper, if it's saturating you won't get a good image, you're wasting ink and your paper probably isn't suitable

Personally I wouldn't use cheap papers. I did test a few cheaper ones a few years back with dire results.
I have always used Xpres, it's cheap by comparison and gives excellent images.
That said, Sawgrass recently informed me that they ONLY recommend TruePix for use through the Ricoh 5050 so I'll be trying that.

How warm are your mugs when they go in, the bottom of the mug is going to take longer to heat up.
How close to the handle are you trying to get?

I also had the same problem top and bottom and I made the image slighly smaller from the top and bottom and that worked,
