Hi first of all please excuse my lack of knowledge in technology. Ive been printing on mugs now for about 6 months and im gradually getting a bigger customer base and im really enjoying working on it. My problem is the prints I put on to the mugs are dictated to me by my pc 13cms x 90cms and wallet size the next one down the pc calls it been the ones I use. Is there some software or method that I can use to have a print that would be a complete wrap from handle to handle. At the moment im putting two pics on the mugs and having a gap in between the pics. Whilst its ok it would look that much better and more professional if it was a complete wrap around the mug with no gap. Just don't know how to get around it. Thanks

Sounds to me like your using Windows Picture Viewer to print the images?

What program are you designing in?

Some people like the gap.

I use word for most of my printing. But you can use Gimp (free), or pay for coral draw etc.

You could use word!

As James990 says, you could use any program that supports importing a picture, resizing and printing.

Word could be used, Powerpoint (i have seen people say they use) or even Paint would give you better control then Windows Picture Viewer.

Paint.net is useful and Free
setup a template 200mm x 77mm
or do 3 up guidelines on standard A4

Thanks a lot much appreciated
