So were having a problem that seems to be a common one for everyone else too, fading of the image sublimated onto mug's, firstly ill list how and with what we press our mugs (might help) we print using powerdriver-v4 onto a ricoh printer via ps c56, were currently using bms mug's and setting's on press are heat 190 for 200 seconds, all our full image mug's seem to accure a problem of either fading around the edge or around the bottom attached are some images of our results

If you look back over this feed/forum you will see that many people pre heat the bottom of the mugs to help with this issue.

Thanks for your response quinsfan but we already do this so this cant be the solution to the problem were having.

I know some mugs aren't as straight as others. Have you put a straight edge against them.

If you have an idle temperature, set that to 100 degrees. Place your mug in then start. The slow rise in temperature from 100 degrees should allow heat to sink into the base. See what sort of print quality you get then.
