Hi guys

I've been asked if I can do glittery text on a mug, what software, if any, can achieve this?

Or, would I be better using vinyl and if so, will garment vinyl work?

Thanks

I've seen sign vinyl on a mug before but it doesn't last too long, better as a novelty unless carefully hand washed.

You won't get a glittery print with the sublimation inks, unless you can get them to accept a glittery type text or design? Maybe using stars/twinkles etc?!

That's what I thought Justin, thanks. :)

Will need to have a play with the various software I have and see what can be done, if anything.
