none have our presses have more than one temp setting - I'd be sending back a press if we couldn't use it continuously, as it would be useless for us needing to print lots of mugs.

If poss, could you share which press it is? I'd love one which I could just switch on and leave. It honestly drives me MAD having to use the timer. The beeping is unbelievably loud.

It's these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-3-4-5-IN-1- ... 3f2172b622

We use the timers on them to count down each mug, but that is the only time it beeps - when the timer runs out.

I have had a couple do that actually. I try to keep the water more on the warm side than ice cold. I heard this should be done to stop the transfer as often it can bleed if the mug is still warm? I guess it depends on the mug or the time you've pressed though?

I've only seen this happen when we had to quickly get in a load of cheap 10oz mug. Our usual custom made mugs don't seem to do this.
