    Getting an even temperature all over the mug

    I have been achieving some great results now I have a Sawgrass SG400 printer and most of my pressed mugs are coming out nicely. One problem thats cropping up is fading of the image at the base of the mug. I am guessing that the base of the mug will be a lower temperature than the rest of the mug due to it being thicker at that point.
    Are there any tips for getting an even temperature all over the mug?
    My only idea at this point is to use a higher temperature all over, I will try that next round

    If you have a look around the forum using the search bar you will find that many people have asked this same question and there are several answers. You are correct that the base is thicker and takes longer to warm up. My first point of call would be to either place the bottom part of the mug in the press to warm up or place the mug on a treyaki grill to warm through.
    Many thanks

    Equipment used A4 Ricoh printer, HP3085 Heat Press Graphtec cutter, Jarin mug press, CJV 30-60 solvent printer and lots of help from DSF.
