If you print with ricoh then inks may burn if to hot. In this case, black will turn more to dirty brown colour.

We use 170c and 140s for regular mug printing but if a large coverage is bright colour (e.g. neon green) then we up to 180c and 180s. Certainly 185 is too hot. Olly

Hi Gents, Would the above times be useful when printing the mug in the 3D Mini Sub Machine with the mug wrap ?
Maybe I have been leaving my mugs in for too long and too hot -

I have been pre heating 3D mini Sub too 190c for 200 seconds
And then placing the mug in the wrap and leaving it for 400 seconds at 190c ?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
