Hi Raymond.

Whenever I get mugs from a new untested supplier I always print one and then pop down to my friends pub. He puts it in the dishwasher for the whole day and I collect at the end (after a couple of light ales of course!). I have found that using a pub as a testing point is a good idea, firstly if the pub is busy the mug gets a hammering because the dishwasher is on all day, secondly they use heavier more industrial chemicals, so if it works for them it will work for everyone.

Regards

Very good idea social!
I'd be sending one of our new mugs for you to test, but we've already trialled them and now bought a pallet load, so a bit late!

No worries, but if you ever need me to sit in a pub and "test" I will be happy to do so :smile:

Would be interested in seeing this new mug of your as well, any photos?

This is a great idea in many ways-I can tell my wife that I'm out 'testing mugs'!

Keeping the new mugs under wraps for the moment - we bought the supplier out of all of their stock to try and keep them more exlusive

We have them on sale now at two locations in London, and they're doing well - sold out of them last weekend, so my wife had a very frantic week printing a load more!
