I had a play with that as well. Decided time spent doing it versus extra charge for the mug .... didn't work out for me.

BUT I may revisit that idea.

Have fun with it Paul.

I tried it as well and although I got fairly good results the sharpness was just not as good as I require.

Try printing some feint lines (.5pt width) and then you will see what I mean.

Ah, I see :)

Are you using a mug wrap on the handle and an oven?

You can use a hat press attachment on some presses.

I posted some pictures I did in a quick test in a previous thread:

Just taped the paper on as tightly as I could, no wrap. I think as mentioned above, fine detail might be a problem.
