<r><QUOTE author="Kaz;49731"><s>[QUOTE=Kaz;49731]</s>The carts that come with it aren't for sublimation though, you need to buy those seperately, and they cost a small fortune, more than the printer costs in some cases, or so it seems.<e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

Suppose this one really depends on the supplier, but weeks apart doesn't guarantee that it will be a different batch - some suppliers might have ...

When pressing, do the lines appear in one area of the mug - e.g, bottom, top? Any chance of posting a photo of the issue?

But seriously, you do get used to multi-monitor set-ups very quickly - especially if you do a lot of heavy Photoshopping or Final Cut Pro. As for that picture - it is good, isn't it? Google 'L3P D3SK' and you should find a couple of ...

Just a quick thought, but the profile that you are seeing - is it called 'Ricoh 3300 v1.02' (or similar)? If so, this is the sublimation profile.
If you still can't find it, PM me on Monday and I will be able to email it to you.

<r>The reason for pressing metal eludes me, to be honest - I'm told that it dates back from the earliest days of dye-sub, when the metal had an extremely pronounced grain, and that if you sublimated 'face-up', the ink would shoot down the grain. How true that is, I can only guess.<br/>

<t>I print the Octi-Tech variant, plus our (NovaChrome's) own glass chopping boards with none of these kinds of issues. And it's opposite to how you're doing them, Adam (so coated side DOWN). Like Jonathan says, introducing a cold piece to a heat press without 'acclimatising' it first may also have ...

Quick suggestion - try pressing the glass upside-down and heat press for about 3-3.5 minutes with a light pressure. Also make sure the bed of the heat press is nice and warm beforehand. Hope this helps!
