I have been battling for a while now trying to get a decent press out of my Listawood Genie mug press. The supplier recommended 180 degrees for 140 seconds but this gives me a burnt mug. I have managed to get a half decent looking image now using the following....
- Idle set at 180 degrees
- Put a room temperature mug into the press
- Temperature drops to 164 degrees
- Temperature climbs back up to 180 degrees (Takes 129 seconds)
- Countdown timer starts for 15 seconds
The supplier sent me out a mug printed out with my test image at 180 degrees for 140 seconds and the colours look fine. I can't work out how my mug looks so different to the one they pressed, do my settings and workflow above look ok?
Listawood are taking the press back tomorrow for inspection but I wanted to see if anybody here had any input
Thanks!
