This maybe a stupid question but once you have printed your sub, is there a time limit of when you have to press it onto th emugs or can it be left for later.
Also, having problems with the temperature-as soon as I place a mug in to press the temp drops quite rapidly, can you put th emugs in a microwave at all to warm them a little before putting in the mug press?

Don't tell the Mrs though!

ive started popping mine in a warm oven for a few minutes while im getting ready to press them

Yes you can print your sheets and leave for a while - no need to heat your mugs as the drop in temp is natural on a mug press as the mug is always colder than the blanket.

I only slightly warm my mug in the winter as my unit is freezing as it doesn't have any heating so the mugs are really cold.

Cheers John

excellent! Thank you both very much for the speedy response:)

mine are kept in the loft till ready to print off so i use oven now....otherwise i'd have to wait till theyve dfrosted... lol

My box of mugs/banks/ceramics are sat in front of the radiator in the room I use for doing my printing in

And at this time of year, the heating is on constantly

Nice idea

I do that for anything that I know doesn't like extreme shocks (plates, black mugs, El Grandes, etc). I put the box near the radiators, get funny looks from everyone else who think they deserve a bit of the heat, and line mugs across the top of the radiators when I have a print run going.

It's all about limiting the shock to the items.
