Try filling your mug with boiling water from the kettle. Leave it for a minute, empty, THEN press your mug.
You can tape up the artwork before warming the mug.
My suspicion is you have a cheap press with small and weak heat element, the handle sucks out heat.
You get partial sublimation.

Ps. I prefere going to 200 or even 205 but fir a shorter time.
