Thank you all very much! I can't wait to get started! You'll know when my equipment arrives cos I'll be on here all the time!!!!

John - when you say reg marks...? How does this help you line up on the mug? Sorry if I'm being a bit thick..!

Thanks for sharing your images Kaz - I can only hope my first attemps are anywhere near as good as yours!!!!

Where's that delivery van got to????

cut to the reg marks - this ensures the print is straight on paper - when placing on the mug you'll be able to judge if is running straight against either top or bottom of the mug. simples!!!!!

I've found that if I print to the edge if leaves marks where the tape was (that could be my inexperience though). I have left a gap either side of the image for the tape to go. I use PS5 and have set up 2 templates, I use the first template to layout the image or text, this then gets dropped into the second template which is about 10mm bigger. This gives me about 3-5 mm either side for the tape. The second template has 2 red line down the side which are my cut lines, I cut just inside the lines so they don't transfer to the cup.

That's the way it works for me so far.

Hope it's of some help
