When I was first learning about sublimation etc I practiced on some cheapish mugs. They printed well and looked great. I know find several months later that some have the print actually wearing away. Is this because I used cheap sublimation mugs or because I possibly did something wrong? Sorry I don't have a picture to show you as mugs were given to sister who lives interstate.
Appreciate any feedback before I attempt them again.
Thanks

Just sounds like the coating wasn't as good as it could be. Many will fade after a while, a couple will offer a decent guarantee against fading providing you use specific inks etc.

as jusin says probably the coating wearing off espcially if they were cheap mugs , NOTE OF CAUTION before you thing about using those mugs for any customers remember you want them to come back to buy more id buy better quality mugs from now on

Thanks... I didn't expect any great outcomes with my first attempts and wasn't planning on selling any of those cheap ones.. The cheap ones just gave me a chance to experiment ..family ended up with them!

BUY CHEAP, BUY TWICE !
I don't imagine you saved many p over buying from BMS anyhow !
Orca or Rhino coatings best!

BMS may not be available to them in Australia

Our reach has made it to New Zealand but this was for edible printing not mugs

Not sure who BMS is??? Thanks for your replies. My cheap mugs were a supa supa supa cheap and I didn't expect any great results. Just needed to get a feel of how it was done! Would rather wreck something worth a pitence when practicing than risk wrecking the good stuff. Thanks all.
