    Cool Mug Handle Sublimation.

    See HOW to print on a Mug Base Ear.

    It's a Saturday Night, I'm in my forties so it's time for me to change into Heath Robinson.

    Decided to try and Sublimate a Mug Handle.

    Knocked up a Jig in an hour, basically this just holds the mug with the handle upright.

    Use the Cap attachment of your cheap Chinese 50 in 1 bundle.

    Let's begin:



    Make a 50mm x 10mm template in Photoshop etc and make your design - print it of course in reverse and tape it in place as above.
    Slip into super dooper technical Mug Jig.

    Allow blanket to reach idle temp (220f in my case) - probably best to use something as a heat sink to protect the blanket but I havent worked out the best way of doing that yet with my new high tech system.

    Press:



    I am keeping all of my times/temps the same as I have to use the same controller for Mug Bases, Mugs and now Andles.
    190c for 190 secs.

    And the result.... :



    I would imagine all Sublimation Mugs have a coated Andle.

    I am quite pleased with the result.


    Edit: as you can see I used a scrap mug for this test - it is faded at the edges (cheap Mug Press).

    Thanks for the kind words - yes, you can only give a rep point to the same person once a year or something like that :(

    I hope my madness in the workshop inspires others to try new things, I find it rewarding when things work (some don't).

    great idea Nik...I've often thought about trying it, but never quite got round to it, and don't have a cap press to do it with!!
