    A lot of the mugs on the market require the base to be pre-heated. Although very straight, Listawood mugs have issues with base printing, a heavy base, but a thinner mug. Printing the bottom centimetre is a pain.

    I found that Raja/ Wycombe Rhino mugs and Xpres mugs do not have this issue and probably have a better distribution of ceramic throughout the mug. They are heavier too giving a more solid feel to them. There's no perfect mug though. If your mugs have a taper, parts of the blanket will not reach the mug properly, tightening the blanket can help.

    So far, this is the best advice I have found on the entire internet!. thank you! After wasting a pile of mugs using a varied temp and time scale, this works 100%!

    However, what works fine for me now is to attach my printed wrap to the mug, pre-heat the mug to 110 degrees for 240secs, the press it at 180/180. No top and bottom fading and no fading near the handle, and my blacks are black.
