Are the mugs used for Sublimation specially coated or can any white glazed mugs be used?

Did TAMS (or the designs of TAMS) go to Egypt? Or was that just a mirage of my imagination? :)

They should be donated to a sublimation museum Paul. Not sure why no-one else didnt take TAMS on, pretty sure it'd still be a good seller.

The Chinese did and they called them the 11oz mugs! Most new entrants to the market seem to believe the 11oz mug is the industry standard (probably is now), but the 10oz version (or European mug style) is much closer to TAMS style and weight.
