Coralgraph sublimation paper won't be helping you much I'm afraid, I tested it and wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Hi viccar, when you say you put a blank mug in at the start do you then leave this in for the 160 seconds after it's reached the 170 or, once it's reached 170 do you then swap and put in the actual mug you want printing (as the one you put in at the start was a warm up mug) could you clarify please

Yep, their (coralgraph) paper is terrible, I've fallen foul of that too. It was paul on here who directed me to xpres economy sublimation paper which is good

Yes the one i put in is a warm up mug, and once it gets to temp, i swap the mugs over and put the one i want printing in, then switch the red switch (if youve set it) and when it beeps after 160 seconds then take the mug out.
I then put the next mug straight in, or if just doing the one mug, i put the warm up mug in the press again, and leave it there. Turning the press off. (so its a cooling mug as well)

with regards the comments for the papers im not sure which papers you purchased obviously if you use Ricoh we dont advise to use the cheaper 108GSM economy paper like this below
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Sheet-Sub ... 5647ef9593
even this is one of the best seller paper as you can see from the sold figures above but these are not recommended for Ricoh ,i suggest to use the Visijet which will give you a better result link below for all paper option
