    Progress update!

    Hi,
    Received my set up from BMS last week - printer, mug wraps etc, to use with a halogen oven. Thought I would show you my progress.
    After printing a couple of mugs with a colour chart to make sure the profile was about right I jumped straight in to try some full wraps! After a few wasted mugs because of scorched paper and 'wrinkling' on the bottom of the mugs I think I got the settings right and decided to leave a few mm at the bottom to avoid the wrinkling. The attached pictures show some of the mugs I printed - one of them has very slight wrinkling at the bottom - I would have shown you all the mugs I printed but I managed to sell some at a craft fair I did over the weekend - glad I bought the kit, I think it adds something to my range of art and cards.
    Neil.

    Thanks Jenny, it felt almost magical when I undid the wraps and found I could actually do it!

    Looking good Neil ...................... and I suppose the good thing is that no one can say "is this the right colour" - unless they compare it to one of your cards!

    Brilliant (and fascinating) stuff there though mate - well done you :)

    Hi Neil,
    Images are looking good - i'd have thought, using clamps and an oven, you'd get edge to edge (top n bottom) full wraps.

    Thanks for the comments.
    Adam - even if people do notice a difference in colours, I can always rattle on about ink composition etc (not that I know anything about it!)
    John - I decided that as I wanted a few mm gap at the top then the same at the bottom looked OK. I'm sure with more practice I could do top to bottom, but I think I quite like a small border top and bottom.

    Neil.

    Edit: forgot to mention, the whole point of starting this thread was to say a big THANK YOU to all the posters whose messages I have mined for details and advice, and which have allowed me to get up and running fairly quickly. Thanks!
    Neil.

    It's good to see success so early on with your sublimation equipment. I too leave a gap top and bottom but that's down to my press not being strong enough.

    I think a gap, top and bottom, looks better personally.
