Will increasing the pressure not solve the problem of the edges? How thick is the 90mm x 200mm item?

Sorry I didn't realise this was a mug. What temp and time are you pressing for and what printer/ inks are you using?

We need to know your temp / times please. Lack of colour in the corners might be because of the thickness of the mug, temp, temp & time or pressure.

i put the mug in cold press, waiting temperature rising to 180 celcius. When it is 180, i pull down a switch and 30 sec countdown to be ready. Thats the manual i got from cg.

i would increase your time to 150 seconds. If colours then look over cooked reduce temp to 175.
