You're not the only ones :smile:. It's a lesson you don't want to learn too often when printing black/dark designs onto an El Grande.

I like John's fan cooling method, but in the past when I have dunked the mugs I've used hot water (as in from the kettle hot added to a little cold) as opposed to just warm. No problems at all with that method. How many mugs are you down, Laura?

Out of interest do you remove the print before you fan them / dunk them or do you leave print wrapped around the mug while it cools?
Sorry if this is a silly question, i havent had any problems with bleeding. just wondered i remove mine then dunk them in warm water just wanted to know if what i was doing was correct as i am self teaching. lol..

Thanks

yes remove the print the moment it comes out of the press, otherwise it would still be transferring,
what i do is raise a corner and make sure it's done right if it's faint i put it back in for 10 secs and check again
