Hi and I hope some one can help me out I have just starting doing mugs and my first 2 were ok ..few little errors to be expected .. then did another 1/2 dozen and they are great ...
Problem .. the image etc is peeling off ... after putting in the dishwasher, the 2nd wash ... do they have to wait a while before they go in dishwasher or is something amiss with my mugs sub paper which Im told a good sub paper avail down under thanks in advance

Are your mugs sublimation mugs and sorry to state the obvious but have you printed on the correct side of the paper?

Yep sub mugs and yes I'm pretty sure I printed on the right side of the paper ... Also read some mugs can be a bit iffy ... And to try scratching surface with fingernail ... If it marks not good to sub

my mother has a chine mug i made her, and the sub picture is actually coming off,i looked at the mug and its the coating on the china mug at fault,so may be you have a bad batch of mugs.the picture is starting to come of around the base and working upwards

That a shame ... Yeah hope I'm not stuck with a box of 48 dodgy mugs

I was hoping maybe my dishwasher was too hot or I put them in the dishwasher too soon

Putting the mugs in the dishwasher so soon after printing shouldn't be a problem. Could well be a dodgy batch of mugs, did you get them from a reputable supplier?

well Martinx I thought I did still working out who's good and who aint in Oz ..lol only bought my first lot last week

I didn't think the dishwasher was the problem ......

The problem will be that some sublimation mugs are dishwasher safe and some aren't.
The ones that aren't the coating (and print) will not survice a dishwasher, and the coating will crack/peel off.
If they are advertised to be dishwahser safe, then either your supplier is lying, or they are a bad batch.

hmm ok time to invest in another box of mugs me thinks .... would hate to have some one buy one and find it peels after a couple of uses
