    Kenduce, I did get an offer from someone to make me a replacement pad, but I didn't keep their details. It was cheaper to buy a new 11oz mug press off eBay, so that is what I did. I still have the...

    Hi! I packed in sublimation printing a few years ago, but having moved house I came across my old equipment. I thought I might do a little hobby printing, just for family and friends.

    11oz Mug Wrap for Mug King BJ850 press

    BMS,

    The plug is not the round type - see photo - and has 5 wires:
    1 Black
    2 White
    2 Thin Reddish Brown

    I assume the extra lead...

    Laura,

    Many thanks I will give it a try. I use ordinary copy paper at the moment, cut and taped outside the subli paper. This will save me the cutting and taping.

    Mrs Maggot (really?), Interesting use of a teflon sheet. Do you tape it over the sublim sheet, or attach it in some way to the heat blanket? Dave

    The mugs are my first box. I got them off eBay, from Coralgraph. I had no complaints about them to be honest, but I want to try the RN coated ones off BMS next.

    Dropped the pressure a little, but also dunked with the paper still on. It gave me a good result, now to do a few more to check that it wasn't a flook!

    Nash,

    Good news, bad news. The ring didn't bleed, but the mug cracked :D

    I'm printing some mugs with a black ring around the top and bottom of the mug, and a couple of images and some text in the centre.

    John,
    I upped the pressure a bit, and it seems OK. I'll probably leave a bit of a gap top and bottom and avoid the problem in the future. Interesting on temps and timing. I'm using 185 degrees...

    Mark, It's my first box of mugs, so I'm not sure, are slight variations not the norm? We are talking maybe 1mm variations. I thought the extra pressure would maybe compensate for that? Dave
