Hi everyone,

I'm approaching sublimation printing on mugs.

Mugs are 11oz AAA-grade mugs from a local supplier, my printer is an Epson L382 (I know... Not intended for sublimation printing, as all inkjet printers for home use but I'd like not to spend too much at this step). Sublimation inks are from a local supplier called Stampa Continua, if that matters. The paper is the A4 kind from Forever.

By my mugs supplier instructions I'm pressing at 200°C for 200 seconds, print gets fully transferred but I'm experiencing some brown smeary corners around black prints.

What could be causing this?

Thank you
