Here it is! Although the colours are a bit too deep now - how do I correct this?

Somethin else to check, not sure if it's been mentioned here. The paper has to be tight against the mug. A slight gap and the paper is creased, this can give the flame effect problem.

This pic looks fine. Just check the detail is ok in the dark areas, it may be my screen but it looks a wee bit solid on the hair?

Now go get a full wrap mug sussed! Lovely children btw! you handsome devil you ;-)

no problem mate! rotating is last resort.

well done mug. lovely mug and familly ;)
colors r fine for me.

The colours are too dark for my liking, although not on the original print. The hair detail is better that it is on the photo I posted but overall, could do with a little less contrast and a little lighter. How do I achieve this? Would this be done by reducing the time - I did leave this one on for 15-20secs longer as well as bumping up the pressure.

BTW, thanks for all the help guys and gals, it's a really good atmosphere on this forum, well done DSF Image
