Mug Sublimation Training Workshop Required

[Keith Coppuck]

Water in the base can work but needs to be boiling hot and a bit of a faff. Personally I pre-heat the lowest inch of the mug in the press at full heat for 20/30 seconds. If you have a few to do the trays are a great idea or you can sit them on top of your flat press if you happen to be using that as well.

Many thanks Justin, I will just be pleased to get a decent result with one of own images. I have a heat tray so will give that a go. Cheers Keith

In answer to your question about reducing times

That's a see what happens answer. Every press is difference and you may even find when you replace the blanket there might be some minor adjustments to be made. But if you were not happy with the initial result and you had pre warmed I would say the first port of call is a reduction in temp and time.
