Re: Baking Mugs before Sublimation

Hi All,

My friend who I produce mugs for has a request for his logo and other artwork to be on the bottom of some specific mugs. I've just purchased some mug paint and I will be stencilling the logo/art onto the base.

The paint needs to be cured for 40 mins in an oven. My question is, If I cure the paint on the base, would the mug side coating still accept sublimation once it's had a heat cycle?

I'm going to try this anyways I was just curious if anyone has had experience of doing this in the past and any tips. I'm aware you can buy pre-printed mugs, but this isn't going to be on all of them so I'll be doing it on an 'as and when' basis.

Thanks!

I did somne sublimation base prints that needed baking, we attached the transfer and printed at the same time as baking base logos but was only 20 mins.

I 'think' you'd be ok to print after 40 but need to test one.
