Hi,

I'm having issues with printing it seems that the mugs are turning black and you can see the tape lines.

I print at 190c for 9mins.


Any tips?

9 minutes is way to long try from 3 minutes

Really?!

I use a 3d sublimation oven not a mug press so does the same rule apply?

if the polyester coating is going brown/ black its burning. Oven too hot? the temperature control in these is usually poor and inaccurate, turn the temp down perhaps 20 degrees and see.
