Hi,
I'm just setting-out, and I'm hoping to hear other people's opinions.
I ordered some mug blanks from a supplier, but didn't get chance to check them all out individually when they arrived a week ago (I had a lot on). I did take a couple out and they looked fine, so as far as I was concerned, all was good.
This week I begun pressing the mugs, and five out of five of the mugs that I looked at have dings in them. One has a couple of noticeable lumps/imperfections at the bottom of the mug (which is fine to give to friends/family, but I couldn't sell them).
I should have checked them straight away, as I'm thinking that the company may have replaced the mugs that aren't sellable, if I had checked them right away? But having said this, if I have to go through the inconvenience of sending half of the mugs back each time, I could see this causing problems.
So what I'm wondering (hoping) is that there is a supplier that sells mugs that don't have such high rates of imperfections in? (That are good quality).
The mugs themselves press great. The picture quality is excellent. It's just sad that so many of the mugs have imperfections in them :(.
All advice is appreciated!
