Hi there,
My name is Rob and I am a law student. So, you're probabaly thinking... what on earth are you doin here then mate!!!

Well, I came across personalised mugs recently for the first time, and thought to myself, what a grand idea that is. So, I looked into the whole process and found it quite interesting. After doing some research, I bought a mug press, a printer, and coreldraw. So now all I need is some mugs, sublimation paper, and heat tape, and hopefully im ready to go.

I'm quite nervous because I dont know how to use coreldraw, and have not set up the ciss system yet :S

Anyway, that's the situation I'm in at the moment. But I have always said, nothing ventured is nothing gained, and I'm sure I will learn alot via all you great people, and through experience.

As a person I am confident, approachable, and love havin a laugh, as we say in yorkshire.

Anyway, I'm just going to browse the forum, and hopefully even submit my first proper post. Thank you all for reading.

Kind regards :P

Rob

Hi Rob, it's not as daunting as you might think - once you master the basics ;)

Hi everybody,
Thank you all for your replies :D

@Paul... cheers mate, yes I do have sublimation ink. Haven't got a clue on how to use coreldraw yet though, that's the most daunting thing about it. I'm going to try to start by doing some very basic mugs, consisting of one image, and some basic text, and then try out new things after that.

Thanks again to everyone.

Regards

Rob
