I have had issues trying to get a good mug print with an oven/cactus and (today) with a mug press.... Not much hair to tear out but had a good go.

Just discovered the root problem with my mug printing:

When the printer/paper arrived for some reason I only loaded a few sheets
for testing. One of these sheets was used to print a mug using the oven
which worked really well. Then I needed to add more paper and realise now it
was the wrong way up which is why all the subsequent ones failed. Having used the paper for the oven trials I then
loaded more, these were the right way up which is why the flatbed press
items were a success. Next day more tests and paper wrong again...

I have no idea as to why I did not load the whole pack after the initial
test, probably an age thing :frown:

Anyway just produced 3 very good mugs and created a colour test sheet which
I will print each time I fill up the paper tray. The print looks very smooth compared to one printed on the wrong side.

You can tell which side is correct but looking at it.

The printable side is the whiter side.

I also am led to believe that the printable side is also slightly tacky if you wet it with your finger.

I know :redface:

Guess I am just sharing this to show how easy it is to get things wrong and convince yourself it is not the problem. I am sure others have been down this road.

Well here's a strange thing with paper..... i'm using some new ink which prints fine but the other day I printed it on to normal recycled budget 80g photo copy paper and the mugs printed just fine, how weird is that.

Truth time..... I've put Truepix in upside sown many times :rolleyes:
