Re: Convection Oven for Sublimating Ceramic Mugs?

Post by what_a_mug »

Howdy all,

I've been pressing simple enamel mugs with a mug heat press for about a year now, and happy with the results.

Now, I've ventured into doing 'full wrap' mugs, well designs that nearly go handle to handle, and after wasting a few mugs in my heat press,
I used an old air fryer that was going to be binned. the results were surprisingly good, but it is a bit hit or miss with certain designs,
and I can only fit one mug in the thing.

This leads me to searching for a cheap convection oven.

Do you think that this oven from Russell Hobbs could do the job, printing 3 - 4 mugs well?

Many thanks for any help

I had a similar size basic oven from lidl to play with. So long as I got it up to temperature and left it there for at least 15 minutes it was fine. In essence I needed to let the heat soak through the whole thing. It had top and bottom elements and did 4 mugs rather well. It also did single 1litre steins rather well.
Spacing took some learning, not too close to each other but not to close to the sides.
I actually bought it for the kitchen, but used it to experiment. It never ended up in the kitchen!

Not an exact answer to your question but it gives you an idea.
