OK, just printed my second mug - this time I was just printing black and white. Looked fine on paper.
Here's the result


It's all streaky green, and as for the bottom edge, very dissapointing. The bottom edge of the mug has a curve in it.

So, what am I doing wrong?

Also, by the handle, rather than a solid line, the black has faded out to a brown.
Right round the mug are streaks from top to bottom, stemming from the streaks you can see clearly at the bottom. This doesn't show very well in pic.

preasure what about that? do it with heavy preasure. do you stick your designes to the mug with heat tape?

edit: sorry. just noticed the tape

edit 2:
make sure your mug is in the middle of the blanket. not on the edge. as there my be cold places so your prints will be out of colors...

Yes, stuck with heat tape. I thought it may be pressure, but I thought it was already quite a lot of pressure. Will try another now, and this time with a gap at top and bottom.


edit:

OK, before anyone comments on it, yes I do have a typo - Stong, rather than Strong. But hey, I'm just testing the kit and not concentrating on the design

try this same. so we know the diference try heavy preasure. but dont break the mug


If this time will go wrong I will tell you trick whitch should help you

OK, it's in the press as I type. Will take pic shortly and post

Thought I was going to break the mug though, so maybe too much pressure now.

OK, it's an improvement. Top half looks alright, but lower black strip still has the green streaking

The pressure felt like it was going to break the mug - surely I shouldn't be applying even more pressure???

Reduce your artwork by about 10mm, top and bottom, and stay away from the handle - some presses just won't do full wraps. If your mugs are cold, or cool, warm them with a heater before pressing.
