thanks

I have always used the Epson Photo Quality Paper for doing mugs and other hard goods. It was was I was told to use when I started 12 years ago (oh the joys of using 2 cartridge system, 1 black 1 3 colour cartridge in an old Epson 850 and using up most of the cartridges trying to get a good nozzle check, then it was £90 for the black and £120 for the single 3 colour, all plus VAT of course).

last year when i first started mug printing you gave me the specs for my mug pres as 185c and 190sec and those settings have been great no problem at all until last night i had to do 4 banks, ive actually done about 60 banks and about 400 mugs since i started and not a problem except for my own mistakes, when i did my banks last the first 3 were great and the 4th one was as well apart from the crease mark up the middle so i did it again and still the same crease mark and i have it at a very good pressure any more and the bank would shatter, im using xpress paper from bms printed out 4 images and tried them on the sample and all 4 sheets came out with crease marks. i talked to martin at bms erlier and suggested that i cut my settings down to 170c and 140 secs, not tried this yet as i have to go out for a while what would your input on this be paul, and also i want to try my heat press tonight but afraid i will get a few placemat and coaster duds you have any specs on what settings for these to heat at, i have baking sheets i bought from tescos to use do i also need teflon sheets as well, sorry for the long speech.
thanks again
