Hey guys
I'm back sublimating mugs, i've got a new setup and playing about with it now but it's not coming out right.
Here's my setup
Epson 1500w A3 Printer
PIXMAX Mug Press
Xpress sublimation Paper
{third party ink name removed} Sublimation Ink
Now i'm confused about temp, time and pressure, everyone is different and i'm guessing this is due to the presses used but an indication would be nice.
Also, is there a template / set of colours to print that once you get them right then you know the time, temp and pressure?
Back obviously will go brown if it's pressed too long, so should I just stick to printing a black mug for the moment?
I've also put my temperature reader on the press and the temp is not consistent throughout the element, the ends appear to be lower than the middle.
My indication is that the mug needs to get to 190ēc in order for the ink to transfer and the time set to 180seconds, but my press has an idle temp and a actual temp.
So if I put he mug in when the idle is 190ēc, it will take time for the mug to reach 190ēc, then do you count the 180 seconds from then? or from putting the mug in
Thanks
