    Vacuum 3d Heat Press - mugs problems

    Hi :)

    What is the best temperature and time for one mug 11oz to be made properly in a Vacuum heat press 3d? And how to set the temperature and time when I want to do e.g. 2 or 6 or 14 mugs at a time? With the settings of 195 degress/9 minutes I get a blurred imprint.

    Of course, I use tape and silicon clamps.
    Thanks for the all tips!

    Same question...
    I have the 3d ST-3042 and for 9 mugs I use the following settings: 170C (the supply recommended that because the machine upgrade the motherboard the temperature cannot go over 190C. By setting the temperature on 170C once I put the mugs on the machine, the temperature goes up to 180C) and 14,3 minutes and I notice that the mugs get burn at the top when is full printing. Then, I tried 160C (to rich 170C) with the same time and same results...

    Just an update in case someone need the information.
    3D ST-3042 bought it from Signzworld UK.
    As per the machine motherboard is updated, Signzworld recommended that never set the temperature over 180ēC. So, I been told to use the following settings.


    When you are printing full artwork, only print maximum 6 mugs at the time by putting the mugs laying down (for a better quality printing) on the 3D ST-3042 tray. Temperature: 170ēC Time: 9 minutes.


    Personally, for 6 mugs full printing without any protection paper between the artwork and green wrap, I use:
    Temperature: 170ēC, Time: 8:15 minutes, Mugs placed based down (I never get good results placing the mugs laying down) and with the green wrap lined with the base of the mug

    For 6 mugs with protection paper between the artwork and green wrap:
    Temperature: 170ēC Time: 9:15 minutes

    I think for non full printed mugs 170ēC temperature and 9 minutes should be fine.

    I hope that helps
