Hi ADP

Bear in mind that if you are doing a run of something you may have to adjust the times a little once the press is running constantly hot.

Good luck.

So I can see no reason why you couldnt press a mug at say 170c for 3,4,5 or longer minutes as long as you have at least enough heat and time for the ink to sublimate then too much time isnt really an issue.

I would rather press at a slightly lower temperature for longer than a too high temperature.
Temperature is only half the issue. If you are pressing Sublijet-R transfers for five minutes or upwards you will be beyond lucky to have serious discolourations. Hence the times provided.
