I have seen on the internet you can buy a press to sublimate bottom of mugs, is this available in UK ?

Is there such a machine to sublimate inside also.

Thank you

You would also need to know that yours mugs are properly coated on the bottom to take the print

Just posted about the inside of mugs in this section. Where did you see the machine to print the bottom?

Stamp looks interesting, could be hit and miss but possibly worth a shot.

Most plate presses don't seem to have the same opening, unless you remove the base plate I guess. I read about someone digi-coating the bottom and then sublimating with one of these presses, results were very good. A lot of work if you ask me ;-)

That stamp looks a bit too 'rustic' . Social's thermo wrap would probably do the job. Perhaps we could form a list of base coated sub mugs?

Yes if rustic is what you need this would work :-) I have thermo shrinky stuff here and will have a go, getting it to go flat over the base may be tricky as it 'gathers' Would be ideal, then they could print at the same time in the oven :-)
