    Hi Chris,
    I printed on to silver & white drinks bottles - I found white is better for images, silver is OK for just text - but I do use a thicker blanket that came with my mug press

    lattes have their own conical blankets - again, my press came with 2 different sizes for these (but never been asked for them :-) )

    I have tried using the 3mm silicon insert and I thought the results were a bit hit and miss to be honest.

    Once I got the time and temp right they're always spot on. I use the red oxide silicone. Recently bought some from elsewhere and its horrible, shiny stuff that I can't get on with.
