Dave, I've managed to cancel my Specsavers appointment........
Andrew, many thanks for letting me know I wasn't going mad after all.
I've been stretching mine by 10mm too & that is all I wanted to know so, many thanks.
Someone just told me the earth isn't flat ..........

I'm with you Ian. Unless you print a small circle, it does look oval. Can't be avoided, it's just the curve of the mug

I commented earlier on this but it was always small circles i've done in the past - I did a large circle the other day and it had to be stretched to look right on the mug.

Barry, I don't use a template I just increase the width by 10mm & that does the trick.
