I have had some successes but quite a few failures, I will try 180 secs, thanks.
180 for 180 & what colour is your heat tape? I found the green tape can leave marks, try the yellow / gold tape it tends to iliminate marks.Phil47;113090 wrote:Hi everyone.
I am a newbie, I have used quite a few mugs getting the pressure and temperature right on the mug press, but I am now having a problem with the heatproof tape marking the mugs. I bought my mug press from Mega, I am using the settings they suggested 180c idle and 185c pressing, pressing for 15 seconds. Using Durham Mugs.
Any suggestions will be most welcome. Thank you.
As per my previous reply to another poster, try the yellow / gold tape, most subli firms sell it, the green tape is thicker & therefore easier to work with when applying the tape to the transfer / substrate, especially for the fat fingered!Picture-Perfect-Gifts;113310 wrote:Hi can someone recommend some good heatproof tape and good price please? I have been using the green/blue colour tape it was ok until recently it left some marks :-/
