[LEFT] Im gonne try the Listawood ones in a moment too but ive changed nothing other than increase the time thanks to the suggestion of StellaD.

I hope you mean DECREASE - 45 seconds only on Listawood for me while 180C for 200 secs is right for Xpres 5013

Yes i did 180 for 200 on the xp5013. Gonna reduce time now to test a Listawood one out. Wish me luck lol

It sounds like you are on a roll

I'm sure that the Listerwood mugs will print OK, one thing it is worth checking though is the level of staining on the inside of the mug

I use Listerwood myself, but they do tend to stain on the inside compared to other mugs that I use

Oh good tip thanks

Update on the Listawood mugs. Bloomin brilliant !! Cooked them for 180 degrees at 120 seconds and theyve turned out even better than the xp5013. Done the same design on both different mugs so I can compare them. Im so happy right now !! LOL

Gonna make an order asap tomorrow to stock up. Not sure which mug yet as Im gonna check them in the daylight tomorrow but will defo be ordering one of these 2. You guys have just saved me hours of testing and also money.

Thank youuuuuuu !!!!!

Great news :biggrin:

Update 2. I've cracked it ! I'm thought I would try some tex print r paper I had been sent a sample of. Looks so much better. It wasn't the mugs as I altered the time down and it's come out near perfect. Even managed to do a great looking photo mug with my subliblanks mugs. Still might switch to listawood or xpres mugs but we do gonna order some more texprint paper.
Small changes really can make all the difference x

Yes, they can. Some people are lucky enough to find all the right equipment, materials and settings from the get-go, while others struggle for weeks and months. Personally, I don't think you can just give someone exact settings, it's more a case of developing a 'feel' for what will work best, and that only comes through experience.

Again, personally, I'd stick with the LW mugs, if only for the assurance that they're guaranteed dishwasher-safe and have been extensively tested.

I've flirted with other transfer paper, but TruePix works great with printers and gives a nice smooth block of colour.

I totally agree with finding what works for you. I'm still undecided on mugs as I love the quality of print on listawood but love the size of the xp5013. Got another few to test later but we defo going to change paper. To be fair most people wouldn't notice a difference but I can see it. The paper made all the difference for me.
