    Blue edge fading

    So after a lot of tweaking and messing i have a process to get decent results on mugs. But with blue I am struggling to get a decent transfer across the bottom and up the edges. This is my process;

    Heat the mug to 110
    Heat the bottom to 130
    Put the paper on let the press get down to 110
    then put the mug in at 180 for 140 seconds.

    If I go any higher or longer than this I get he coating coming off on the paper which I think is it getting too hot.

    Any ideas how I can get a decent transfer across the bottom?

    I use °f to do my mugs as that's how my press is set.
    I've just started using coralgraph mugs and I agree they are top notch.

    So, I put my mug in the press at 340°f I then press the start button, and it heats up my press to 380°c once it gets to that temp the timer starts. 140 seconds.
    Also I've changed my paper to A-sub 125g paper the clarity of print is top notch.

    I've followed the instructions on a YouTube video. I dont seemed to have any problems with it.
    Once you put the mug in the temp drops dramatically anyway and then slowly builds up to the top temp.
