Hi All,

I know this subject has been done to death, but i cant find anything recent. I am looking for suggestions/help with my mugs having a 'faded' bottom edge.

I'm not a newbie, I have been sublimating for around 5 years now.

I am using:
110z mugs fom Signzworld
Epson L382 series printer
Inks & paper from City ink express
ICC profile from City ink express
Pixmax stand alone mug press (new element)

I am aware of mugs not being straight, but haven't checked for this on this batch yet (1st job in the workshop this morning)
I have altered settings: time, heat & pressure in the press.

The issue is with a full wrap image, and I work to 8.5cm high, 20cm wide. Its the bottom that is the issue, faded on at least 5mil to a centimetre around the bottom.
Where it does print well, it is nice & vibrant, & sharp edges, (top & sides)

This is an issue that I have had come & go over the years. Is it different mug batches?

Any suggestions please? I am looking a possible new mug supplier and would love a sample or 2 to test. I have always found Signzworld mugs ok, and a decent price. I dont mind paying a bit more to solve he issue, But punters are reluctant to pay more than £5 or£6 for a mug, so keeping my costs down is essential.

Any suggestions gratefully taken on board,

Thx all
