Hi all,
I am Dominik from Germany and we are fairly new to the mug sublimation business ;)
We run a little store for gifts and home accessories in the german market.
And now we want to offer personal stuff for our customers. The first idea was mugs!
So now we do the first tests and a lot of trial and error, and we are getting closer to the first working products.
But now a new problem appears:
if we do a few mugs one after another there we can see some unwanted stuff printed on the mugs.
For example: we print two mugs with names on it - and after pressing the second one, there you can see some ghosting of the previous mug.
Here are two examples:

Hope you can see the problem.
Some days before there where some coloured spots on another mug, but this was on one of the first tests! That time I thought that it was a bad print from the printer.
Now I know better
Anyone familiar with this kind of problems?
What would be the best way to avoid this?
I think that the ink passes the sublimation paper and then lays on the heating map and will then transfer onto the next mug.
Hope there are some experiences with this
Best regards
Dominik
