Hi All,

I am totally new to this forum and to sublimation printing, i would appreciate all the help i can get. i have an 8 in1 press from Coralgraph (paper from them aswell) and my printer is an Epson B1100, my ink is Fotorite CISS. i have tried to print on a mug (bought from Signzworld on Ebay) and i have had no luck, no image will transfer onto the mug. The instruction that came with the press are useless and the timing seem much higher (300-500s) than what i have read on the forum so far. I have tried temp:180 and time:180s with still no luck, instead the mug has gone dull in colour. Can anyone please help me as i am really confused about where i may be going wrong. Another question i have is: Can the same mug be re-used until i get the hang of things to avoid waste of new mugs? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

are you using sublimation inks

I suspect your main problem lies here, whats sort of ink is it ?

dont blame the press. blame your inks They are fantastic to print photos but unfortunately not on the mugs

You are going to need to get sublimation inks for the B1100. The Artainium Easyflow system comes with 5x100ml of inks and RRP of this is around £239 +vat. Oh ...and welcome

Hi and welcome to the forum Not much I can add to the above, other than the fact that I found that paper useless as well

Hi

And its great to be a part of this forum, everyone has been very helpful and im confident that i can ask for help and there is always support here. Thank You
