I'm fairly new to pressing mugs and using an Adkins Studio. I've noticed that the first mug I press of the day usually has an almost burnt spot on the paper (always in the same area) and the print on the mug is a little "soft" in the same spot for the first mug. Not a problem as such as it's barely noticeable and consequent mugs are fine but it got me thinking that perhaps it's a sign of the element starting to breakdown.
Would anyone be so kind as to let me know whether elements die a slow and painful death (as described above) or do they just suddenly go.
I'm thinking that I should get myself a backup element whatever, so could anyone recommend a good supplier.
Thanks
