What is the best temperature and time for one mug 11oz to be made properly in a Vacuum heat press 3d? And how to set the temperature and time when I want to do e.g. 2 or 6 or 14 mugs at a time? With the settings of 195 degress/9 minutes I get a blurred imprint. Of course, I use tape and silicon clamps. Thanks for the all tips!
Same question...
I have the 3d ST-3042 and for 9 mugs I use the following settings: 170C (the supply recommended that because the machine upgrade the motherboard the temperature cannot go over 190C. By setting the temperature on 170C once I put the mugs on the machine, the temperature goes up to 180C) and 14,3 minutes and I notice that the mugs get burn at the top when is full printing. Then, I tried 160C (to rich 170C) with the same time and same results...
Just an update in case someone need the information.
3D ST-3042 bought it from Signzworld UK.
As per the machine motherboard is updated, Signzworld recommended that never set the temperature over 180ºC. So, I been told to use the following settings.
When you are printing full artwork, only print maximum 6 mugs at the time by putting the mugs laying down (for a better quality printing) on the 3D ST-3042 tray. Temperature: 170ºC Time: 9 minutes.
Personally, for 6 mugs full printing without any protection paper between the artwork and green wrap, I use:
Temperature: 170ºC, Time: 8:15 minutes, Mugs placed based down (I never get good results placing the mugs laying down) and with the green wrap lined with the base of the mug
For 6 mugs with protection paper between the artwork and green wrap:
Temperature: 170ºC Time: 9:15 minutes
I think for non full printed mugs 170ºC temperature and 9 minutes should be fine.
