Mug Press

[Quinsfan]

I have only gone and bought a mug press! A bargain on eBay. Am I going to be eating my words about halogen ovens.[emoji15]

I've got one of those, my heater blanket is knackered though and it looks different to that one, mind you it is donkey's years old

About 30 quid plus vat and delivery for a new one.

1st mug 190 3 mins great colours but faded bottom, no surprise there though. 2nd mug 190 3 mins pre heated bottom in the mugs press for 1 min. perfect bottom and colours but a small area around the top looks as though there is a crease. 3rd mug dropped to 180 3 mins just to see the difference. Images are not ones I sell or offer. My daughter has been bugging me for an Elsa mug for ages so it was a great chance to try out the new press.

I am happy with the results for my first time. I am going to try Paul's DSF test image next.
Sorry about the picture sizes not sure what happened they are from my phone.
Any feedback would appreciated.

Iain, were the above produced with Trupix paper? How did your test sheet turn out? I've got the same press but labelled as an Xpress and need some settings to start at.

Trupix paper, Ricoh printer and 180 secs 180 templates. Remember to warm the bottom of the mug for a full print.
