    hello to all hope someone can share some advice as im new to this. thx

    Hi All,

    I am totally new to this forum and to sublimation printing, i would appreciate all the help i can get. i have an 8 in1 press from Coralgraph (paper from them aswell) and my printer is an Epson B1100, my ink is Fotorite CISS. i have tried to print on a mug (bought from Signzworld on Ebay) and i have had no luck, no image will transfer onto the mug. The instruction that came with the press are useless and the timing seem much higher (300-500s) than what i have read on the forum so far. I have tried temp:180 and time:180s with still no luck, instead the mug has gone dull in colour. Can anyone please help me as i am really confused about where i may be going wrong. Another question i have is: Can the same mug be re-used until i get the hang of things to avoid waste of new mugs? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

    dont blame the press. blame your inks :) They are fantastic to print photos but unfortunately not on the mugs :)

    You are going to need to get sublimation inks for the B1100. The Artainium Easyflow system comes with 5x100ml of inks and RRP of this is around £239 +vat. Oh ...and welcome :)

    Hi and welcome to the forum :-) Not much I can add to the above, other than the fact that I found that paper useless as well :-)
