I tried to print on the base a while back, sometimes it worked but more often it failed. I bought myself a laser printer and use transfer printing then bake in an oven to provide longer life. I just put business name and web site details and can get thirty from one sheet of A4 paper. If anyone is interested in buying some pre-printed sheets to apply yourself pm me with requirements and I will get a quote back to you.

we do solvent printed vinyl stickers, work out about 4p each.

PM me if you want a sample, they survive a dishwasher for ages.

Would these vinyl sticker fair well with microwave?

I can vouch for stickers, they're really good

Would the water transfer be suitable for this purpose? Thought if I had prep all the mugs with the water slide, then subli in an oven would effectively "cure" the water transfer at the same time, just wonder if the result is as durable as a laser vinyl?

I'd suggest not. Water slide won't be as durable as the stickers that Frisbee could print.

Thanks Martin. From your experience would you the laser vinyl you sell would fit the purpose before I look into the solvent vinyl option?

I've not had experience of putting either on the bottom of a mug and trying it to be honest. If you pm Dave at Frisbee I'm sure he will have tried various alternatives and may be able to comment better. It's what happens to them in the heat and steam of a dishwasher that is the unknown for me.

I buy stickers from David, I inform my customer that they're not designed to be dishwasher proof but having tested them they stand up very well in the dishwasher.
