"chinglish" is a hard language to master, and yes my instructions were gobbledee gook as well, and that was a couple of years ago when i had mine, so as you rightly say, a simple print off and pop in the box set of instructions that you can actually understand and are relevant to your purchase would be a top idea

A lot of discussion has been made on the dishwasher safeness of the different coatings, but I've not read of any experiments looking at how much gassing/drift of inks there are after pressing on the different coatings.
As you may have read in my other thread that so-called premium coatings will also bleed after pressing.

Personally I've never dunked, plus I feel that we shouldn't have to. If the coating isn't up to the job then it needs to reformulated. Having buckets of water around electrical equipment is hardly a wise move, nor do I want the mess. Try a different coating if the inks are bleeding after printing REDQUASAR.

It wouldn't take long to translate Chinglish into English, this is poor practise and something you would expect twenty years ago from a dodgy import that had leaked onto the market!

Chinglish? I've never heard that one before, but it made me smile, so my sense of humour must be returning after this weekend's tribulations! The mugs I've printed off have helped appease me too. I'm really pleased with the results. I've just produced a mug with a detailed illustration on which is full of gradients and shading and lots of text too and it looks sound (that's scouse for very good: scinglish?)! It wasn't dunked and, like I wrote in a previous post, I'll refrain from this practise until a problem arises.
