9oz Balmoral mug attachment? Do they Exsist?

[AJG]

Hi there,

Forgive if this is a stupid question but I have been a long time lurker and just purchased my first Mug heat press (UK Heat Press from Signzworld).
It comes with a 11oz attachment which is all well and good, but I would also like to heat press onto bone china 9oz Balmoral.

Now, for the life of me I cannot find the attachment to buy for this? Can I use the 110z attachment mat for a 9oz?

I'm sure this is a laughable question if you are a pro, so advanced apologies.

Thanks!

Have you got a link to the Balmoral mug? What is its diameter?

Hi Gary It is 94mm tall x 83mm diameter . Thanks

You will need a thicker blanket for smaller sized mugs. You should be able to buy alternative mug wraps for different size diameters from suppliers. We have a bank of mug presses all with different size blankets for this very reason.

A standard 10oz Durham mug is 80mm diameter, so a normal '11oz' blanket will be fine.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I do not think the UK heat press has any smaller wraps than 11oz (Would love to be proved wrong)for the press. It was a cheap one so I guess I found its first limitation. I have an oven so will try that way as well. Just for clarification a blanket is the official name for a mug attachment?
Thanks again

I can't understand why they call these 9oz mugs then. That's the standard size of most 11oz mugs. I always believed the 'oz' stood for fluid ounces, ie. the capacity of the mug.

Heat blanket, heat element, mug attachment.

There's no official measurement which mugs have to adhere to. The original 10oz Tams Durham mugs which here manufactured in the UK were small looking compared to today's 10oz mugs. Listawood's original 10oz mugs were identical, but even those have increased in size in recent years. These would be the Thai made Xpres style mugs. If you measure the capacity, I think they are about 10-11oz...it was years ago when I actually done this, so if somebody has nothing to do, you can confirm this! A 10oz Xpres mug weighs 11.2 oz just to confuse you.

The original smaller 10oz mugs were squeezed out of the market by bigger and uglier 11oz Chinese builder's mugs. The Xpres/ Listawood 10oz mugs are somewhere in-between with small handles. These 10oz mugs are for the European market usually. I'm rambling on now.
