The reason I joined this forum was to get help! I am glad I did! I turn these our fairly quickly now with the most recent order being 100 mugs for RAF Lossiemouth!

Then a new print today with mugs too!

My problem was photmugs and the problems at the top and the bottom! The first mug I did today you can see at the top that there is not enough paper been taped to the mug - the rest are fine - the turning of the mug in the middle of the heat cycle did the trick so thank you for all your valuable advice - I am nearly there and patience is a virtue! My thanks to the many of you who post your hints!

Wouldn't say that I have nailed it yet but getting there - the thing is continuity and as I have so much other things to do sadly I don't have that! It has been a slow process with plenty gone in the bin but I have no regrets buying the machine and the help and encouragement from BMS and this board has kept me going! I spent hours reading the pitfalls and hints of others to learn and boy did it help! Thanks again! :-)

Good stuff Gill! Which mug press did you go for? Mine (very old Chinese combi-press) is on it's last legs and cannot produce top-to-bottom images like that!

Look good. A nice market for some decent orders if you have a regular way in as well.

I am out of the office but I spoke to the guys at BMS and bought a package of new printer, press etc! I will look when I get back in the office and let you know!

We use our own artwork and photographs out of books that we have published. Our prints are bought by the Squadrons but we don't allow anyone else to use it - we are always watching! I would like to try other things like t-shirts etc but we just don't have the time! We are very protective of our artwork and not sure how it would really look on a t-shirt!

Thanks Mrs Maggott! :-)
