    Shelf life for prints?

    Hi guys,

    I was just thinking last night as I was doing some mugs .............. what's the shelf life on a print (subliminal ink) ?

    What I mean is, can you print out a batch of a 'popular' design that can stay on the side until required ............... or does the print really need to be used within a few hours because of the ink etc?

    I'm probably like everyone at the moment that I print stuff out as and when I require them as some mugs require personalisation on them - but it may be a point to note if I have something that doesn't require any personalisation.

    Adam

    I kept some for over 6 months, they took on a yellowish tinge but once pressed onto the mug they were fine.

    Cheers John

    Don't see there being a problem with printing and storing so long as you do the standard things like keep then flat and I'd suggest in a folder to stop sunlight fading them.
