Not sure if it'll work but I know that Popeye can blow up hot water bottles after a little spinach?


Sorry mate - couldn't resist that one!

fredster, cant help with that, but have you a template for the latte mug ? have bought some, but need to work out size for template, so if you have one ready done would make life simple thanks

Template for photoshop:

Just be careful with text if you want it to be perfectly straight. I printed a couple of lattes this week and didn't bother with the template but just positioned image by sight on the mug.

blimey, now im guilty of doing what i always think (why dont people look on BMS site first) then i realised i did a search on the BMS site of "templates" and it only gave me the frames 4 photoshop - i never saw it at the end of the ordering page lol -

have now downloaded it, but i work in corel, so i cant see how thats going to be of use to me, i will go to plan b, wrap paper round, fix with tape draw and measure then redraw in corel

been playing with the template for large latte mugs and if using text horizontally add a 10+ arc downwards to the text and it almost lines it up perfectly ..in photoshop ..looks great

Will Corel open a PNG file? Might be able to convert the PSD file to PNG.
