Dave, I've managed to cancel my Specsavers appointment........ :lol:

Andrew, many thanks for letting me know I wasn't going mad after all. :lol:

I've been stretching mine by 10mm too & that is all I wanted to know so, many thanks.

Someone just told me the earth isn't flat .......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm with you Ian. Unless you print a small circle, it does look oval. Can't be avoided, it's just the curve of the mug

I commented earlier on this but it was always small circles i've done in the past - I did a large circle the other day and it had to be stretched to look right on the mug. :confused:

Barry, I don't use a template I just increase the width by 10mm & that does the trick.
