Here's a photo of the whole mug done at 180c for 180 seconds. Base pre-heated for 30 seconds. The base looks great it's the top corner that's rubbish.

Are you printing using the PowerDriver or just straight from the printer. Your colours look really good, whereas my look faded. I can't figure out if should put the temp up and heat for longer???????

PowerDriver.
Where do you print from? We print out of Photoshop letting PowerDriver manage the colours. Make sure it's set to "perceptual" rather than "relative".

Thank you! PowerDriver successfully installed and colours looking better.
The only thing now is, how to print more than 1 image per sheet - anyone?
Using PSE13

We use specially sized mug paper which means you don't waste any from A4 paper if only doing one and makes whole process much quicker when doing lots. Olly

Can you tell me which paper, and where you got it from?
I can't get my head around PSE13 and it not allowing you to print the same image more than once?????

We use the mug paper from BMS (printerowners.co.uk) and have a view of this video which should tell you how to set printer for paper sizes other than A4

If you look at my image of print settings, it pretty much shows you how to put 3 on an A4 sheet.
