You should be able to, but, will your mug press do latte mugs as they taper at the bottom and most standard presses won't do them properly

What do you want a template for?

I have templates for 11 oz Latte Mug or 16 oz Latte Mug in PSD and CDR files ................ 'sourced' them from the interweb when I fist started doing mugs (just in case).

Did have a latte template, I'll see if I can dig it out, basically the design has to be warped to look right.

I've only ever warped in CorelDraw. Just seen this:

We've looked into the warping and it does get complicated! This is really only necessary if you want to get text on the mug as well. We did some large 17oz latte mugs before Xmas and printed a large rectangle - as if printing on a mousemat and manually wrapped this around the mug - just folded the paper at the handles to give a parallel finish to the edge and allowed the image to go over the top and bottom of the mug. End result - a full top to bottom image on a latte.
