Would anyone like to see my latest creation?!!

They would make great gifts, but I would be charging £20 for all that work!

Appears sensible to me.

see paul on this site, pay around £25 for a ICC profile for your printer, inks and paper and you should notice 100% improvement, but as your mug goes i would be quite pleased with your results for now images look ok to me but with a profile you will surprise yourself.

Ok I'll have a word with paul......I took the mug outside today, and if I'm honest with myself there could be improvement, although it looks good, it would be nice to be near perfect....helps with sales!!!

Really? The "price" discussion has come up several times when people have asked about mugs (not this one) lots of people keep saying "yeah but you can get them cheaper on ebay" I'm yet to have my reply sorted!! so just blag it and say about quality.......I con't see how people sell mugs for peanuts, doesn't do anyone any favours!

Well done....those 'heritage' mugs should be a big market for you.

I like the 'heritage' bit Just got to get moving on it now!!!

Thanks for all the comments guys, it's appreciated

I just tend to say something along the lines of "Cheap is cheap for a reason" then carry on with the discussion.

I'd say that if you wanted to be charging £20 you would stand a better chance of getting that sort of price on a better styled mug, especially if it was made of china.

That works, I will try that!!

That makes sense....I've actually had a few people asking about bone china mugs, are they easy to work with?

No different to work with china, just it costs more than a bog standard chunky mug.

ok I've taken on board what everyone has said, I was looking at my creation out in the cold light of day yesterday, and yeah I can see that the colours are not right.....so I've paid for an ICC profile from paul....looking forward to seeing the difference

Hi

They look awesome to be fair good job

I know this is not on topic but I am really looking for help I have been messing around with many mugs!! i am trying to do a full image on a mug but always my image looks so weird it always stretches and squashes, I use Photoshop CS5 and cant seem to work it out if anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be really great

Hi mate,

Well for starters, it might be worth putting a photo up for everyone to see, could give people a better idea of whatthe problem is.......I'm probably the least qualified to helpto be honest!! but for what it's worth, I wasted about 40 mugs before I got consistant results!!!!!

I'd say you'r best idea is to do an "Intro" thread in the new members section, then start a new thread and ask for some help, with photos I'm sure you'll get loads of help.....there's a really good group of very knowledgable people on here, and they're a friendly bunch too!!

As an aside, I see you come from Bracknell???? That (some may say) for my sins, is where I was born and bred!!! Been following the regeneration of the town, all my childhood memoires have been deleted there!!!!

Anyway, welcome from me!!!
