    We use a polyester fabric (Endura) over the top, I think Xpres sell it. It helps to absorb moisture to prevent mottling but also fills in any dips or edge defects in the metal to give an even print.

    Yes, we've experienced this in the past. There is lots of fake Kaptan tape floating around on ebay. We only purchase from our mug supplier now. Heat tape should not transfer onto the mug.

    We converted an Epson Surecolor T3200 and a T5200 for use with sublimation. They are our daily workhorses. I think both models have been superseded by the T3/5400 now.

    We've used airfryers in the past before moving onto a larger oven. We managed 4 mugs at a time. Some airfryers work better than others in terms of circulating the air well enough to get an even temp...

    We use 'open cell silicone sheets' with small air pockets inside. It allows the heat to transfer through easily but still conforms to the shape of the substrate.

    Use a polyester fabric rather than silicone between the heat press and the metal, the fabric will also absorb the moisture.
    I've seen a similar pattern using silicone sheets with acrylic.

    Are you using a silicone sponge between the paper and the heat press?

    It could be the texture of the press indenting on the acrylic when it softens.
