Re: Paper size for mugs

Post by Disky »

Was talking to someone today that does mugs and sells them on Facebook..

she he was telling me that she's fed up with wasting so much sub paper and when I asked what she meant, she told me she used 1 sheet of a4 sub paper for each image, unless she was doing a larger run,then she would get 2 out of an a4 sheet.

i only buy trupix paper now, but I have a mate that's a print finisher and he guilotines the a4 down to 210x99mm for me so I get 3 mugs out of every sheet.

does anyone else do that, or is it just me

We print 3 to a sheet then guillotine them :-).

Less wear on the printer that way...

I thought everyone did 3 to a sheet of A4 for ordinary mugs?

Not me, I only get two to a sheet as I have my paper pre-cut to 235 x 100mm

Might need to get a wide format soon as that will save the pennies

We generally only get two designs on a single A4 sheet as we like to get the paper close to the mug handle. Some smaller designs do actually allow three to a single page but if we are in a hurry they often still get printed off as two to a single sheet.

3 to a sheet for me to, you can save the paper and adjust accordingly from within the paper feeder but if its a large run then 3 to a sheet always as I know I will use them and i'm not wasting paper, 8 inches by 3 inches per print is what I use and can get 3 of those to an A4 sheet
