    Mug pressing faded line

    Hiya I'm pretty new to mug pressing. I have adjusted time pressure etc as I've gone through this batch. My travel mugs printed earlier with same paper, ink and machine etc are fine.

    Longforte say 160°c for 3min on these. I have upped to 170°c and increased pressure and results have improved. See 1 with pic of 2 dog mugs. I seem to be getting a bit of a white line where transfer tape is at bottom (oddly not at sides or top).

    I also seem to be getting a bit of a colour issue with blacks going brown here (and yesterday on my normal flat press when sublimating on metal yesterday black was looking a little blue).

    I'm thinking when I reprint for these mugs I'll do in photo quality to make colours richer then make photos a bit smaller so i can tape over white space at edges. Slightly higher pressure and at 170°c. Any other tips appreciated x


    I'm using longforte best sub mugs
    a uk press mug press
    Ink express sub paper and ink

    Are you using the correct ICC profile for your setup? Do you even have an ICC profile? This is very important before you even contemplate changing anything else.
