The going over the handle bit and your finished result is what confused me on this thread. When the shrink wrap goes over the handle and is heated, the wrap pulls away from the mug surface near the handle area. The handle is the high point where the wrap pulls taut to. If you place a flat edge from handle to the mug surface, then this is the approx thing happening. No pressure near the handle area to achieve a consistent print.

You are right and maybe I got lucky it would need a lot more testing to see.

However if your print is nice and tight and taped well on the mug then the film will hold it in place - even if you go round the handle. Dye sub does not require any real pressure to work. In actual fact the Rio travel mugs from Listawood require no wrap at all when using an oven.

Looking on their website it looks like they don’t sell them anymore, I might drop an email to Kris to find out why, if I get an answer I will report back

Not available until well in to the New Year was the response I got, that's pretty grim if you sell this item as I could imagine it is a popular item.
