This sounds like a job or Paul and his demo videos so we can see how it is done :cool:

... you pre-press it to heat it up, add the transfer and tape it nice and tight, and then press it twice (assuming you want the image to go all the way around without a gap) and then 10 seconds before the timer runs out on the second print you hear a cracking sound - so all that time wasted!

If that mug press that prints all the way around (without the usual handle gap) was the right size to do these faultlessly, I'd be buying one!

Anyone still got these lying around and tried them in an oven/vaccuum press?
I've just got a silicone wrap in to trial going to oven route, and have about 25 of these left, so itching to see they work better in an oven, if they do, we may need to source more in again - do any suppliers still carry them?

Happy to say printing these in the oven works perfectly with no cracking issues ... i reckon the few we have in stock should fly out!

Emailed Martin today, and he said they're hoping to have similar glass tumblers back in around end of May for about £1.50+VAT ... so we're gonna use the ones we have to make up samples for BCTF and Pulse and just let the buyers know they'll ship in June.
