I haven't used Windows since I decided to go back to real computers after 20 years of having to work on Microsoft stuff. Getting back to Unix based computing was a breath of fresh air again.

If it is a Windows computer, and assuming MS have not changed how they do stuff, all stuff saved on your Windows desktop, is saved in a folder called 'Desktop'. And unless things have changed, no,...
Hi to our members in the Philippines.
I am in Australia but I am part of a small project in Batangas and I need some Dye Sub stuff done over there.
I'm looking for someone who has access to...
If he likes Superman and Japanese comics you could get someone 'arty' to design something like this:
We only ever use the cheapest 'sticky tape' we can find, and have done for years. I still have all my brand new expensive never touched heat tape here in case I find a practical use for it. The...
Hi Lianne. I think perhaps you might need to play with the pressure and time. There's really not much you can do once you get the temperature right, other than adjust the pressure and time.
As I...

Hi llannef,
I've not done any poly mugs with large solid black text, so I have no idea if big black letters would be ghosting on my jobs.
But my small black and solid blues are ok I think. I...
Hi Susan,
The Brother printers use 'Epson' compatible sublimation ink. If you use a poor quality ink, you can probably expect poor quality results I guess.
There are some images on an old (no...
Yep - like me. Simple..
I've seen some great ideas on here. So the swappable shims for quickly setting the mug press from ceramic to polymer and the magnets for mug and flat presses are 'giving...
Using non branded paper it's often hard to work out which side to print. Grab your tongue between your finger and thumb tips, then hold the paper between the moist finger and thumb tip and squeeze. ...
The Brother is VERY frugal with the amount of ink it uses. I am amazed how little is costs to run I have one Brother 6510DW running Pigment ink, one 6510DW running Dye Sub ink and one 6520DW...
Hi Michael,
Your message is coming through more than once. People will see that and probably not answer, so please if you don;t get a reply, just wait. Someone will answer it when they see it -...
Hi Michael. I haven't had to use the new Brother with Chip cartridges for Sub yet. Mine are 4 years and thousands of prints old. But I did have to replace one I use Pigment ink in. Still no chip...
I should add that for my mug presses the cheap Chinese one walks all over the expensive one for persistent image quality. Pert of that is because I normally use my old press to pre heat mugs. But...
No Problem. Three or four years ago I accidentally discovered a way to sublimate permanently onto cotton. Been hot washing and hot tumble drying those shirts ever since. There are photos on DSF. ...
I think we got our big INSTA swing away heat press in about 1984 or 1988. It has done many thousands of T-shirts over the years and I think the only problems have been a few blown fuses. And the...
I wrote the times and temps and some idea of pressure along with which press I used on the bottoms of every mug I pressed when I was first pressing. Then I simply put the best of the best in a...
I've been sublimating photos to pre-stretched framed cotton canvasses for quite a long while. There are photos on DSF somewhere. They have been very popular and much more vibrant colours than...
There are a few tutorials and stuff on Inkscape and Graphtec cutters here. One of them might give you some ideas on sorting the problem. The one that opens on the page is just cutting a couple of...
Sorry, my warped humour has been absent from the forum for too long. "Heating Element"
That reminds me that I still haven't posted the promised pics of using my balls to hold teflon sheets on...
Poly Mugs don;t need to be dunked. They cool much faster than ceramic. Ghosting might be just too much pressure in the press. Poly Mugs don;t need a lot of pressure. Too much and the colours...
And a good reason to test print occasionally.
The instructions with the press I'm using now say something like 40 seconds!
I was using an expensive mug press but was getting fading at the...
I should add that I use Dye Sub inks for Epson and because the Brother nozzles are big enough to drive a truck through I can leave the printers idle while I'm away for 3 or 4 weeks and when I come...
