    How many suffer from the discolouration (hue) SG mentioned initially? We often have to tape our mugs up so most of the white is shielded? It's not a blizzard oven but a larger commercial bakery type style. Always been the pain for us. Even if we burn off the wraps it comes back fairly quick.


    What style wraps do people use? We have both the green with fixed ends and the red with cheaper style adjustable ends. Now this thread is up I might make more effort to master the ovens, just takes more time than using multiple presses. We do sell various styles of mug though and would be beneficial to have the ovens ticking correctly.

    I don't get any now that I have perfected the "art" Its pretty well documented on here, but the bottom line is that the paper must extend beyond the mug wrap and it must be a minimal bleed.

    It never ceases to amaze me that considering the volume you do Andrew that you do not use oven(s).

    The boys seem to take much longer with the ovens. Presses are getting around 60 per hour out per person. We do use the ovens most days, just volumes drop.

    We will extend the paper wrap for the next batch to see how much it helps. We often have the hue on the handle itself as well but with any luck with a bit more of the stick and less carrot we might get it right long term. We have a bigger oven but they don't like printing more than 12 mugs either. 16 tends to be max. Think I will have to spend more time out there myself instead of sitting in the warm office.

    I reckon, if you had 2 people operating two ovens then you should be getting around 144 mugs per hour which might also include some "standing around time". I could be wrong, but you might even be able to get two people operating three ovens meaning an increase to 216 per hour.

    This includes applying printed dye sub sheet through to boxing at the end and is based on the Blizzard oven.

    As with all dye sub stuff, and in particular if using an oven versus a press, environmental factors such as how cold your warehouse is, will make a difference to length of time printing etc.

    Hi, I need some urgent help. One element in my press has just died and the supplier has no more elements in stock. Ive brought out my Halogen oven as I have an order for 500 mugs to do right now. Timings are written on here but I cant find a temperature to set the oven . Can you help please.
    Many, many thanks.

    No need, I can answer that right now!

    The temperature dial on my halogen oven points to 210 deg C, but the temperature inside is different to the dial, as indicated by the oven thermometer I have placed inside the bowl. That reads up to 200 deg C while cooking.

    What I do is wait until the thermometer temperature reaches 180 then place my mug in the oven and start a 9 minute timer on my phone.

    Thanks. I tried one mug at 180c for about 10 mins. It wasnt enough, the colours didnt come through strong enough. Ill try 200 tomorrow and see what happens.
    How many mugs can you get in your over. I can get 5. Would I be better off just doing 4 so the air has better circulation? If I did 4 or 5 how long should they cook?
    Mine is a JML oven.
