Re: Mug Press Error?

Post by edwardsmedia »

Im having abit of trouble printing mugs! Had this mug press about 1 year now and dont use it much.

I recently changed the element for the first time to print some other type of mugs. I have now changed it back and things arn't so great.

Im using Xpres single mug press
Im using a Ricoh A4 printer
Im using xpres mugs & paper

180'c for 3 mins

it seems to be mainly the dark colour photos that are becoming blurry mainly at the bottom of the mug and sometimes the tops.
Should i press them for longer? just so you know the mugs are at room temp and are not cold.

Can you see in the left side of the mugs the white/blur?

Maybe pressure of the mug press around the mug as this looks like the paper has not been pressed against mug properly

Can't see too much on the image but I think it maybe the pressure.

You mentioned that you have put the blankets back in the press. When you clamp the mug is it firm in the blanket and will not spin?

Increase pressure is what I would have said as well.
