New to 3D Mug Sublimation (Mini 3d sublimation machine)

[SilentAlf]

Hi All,

I was hoping you could help?

I have recently bought a mini 3D sublimation machine and have been reading through the 3d sublimation threads but wondered if anyone had any success stories on the temperate/times and any hints and tips.

is it best to use the mug clamps or the silicone vacuum?

So I thought I would try 190C for 300sec in the mug clamp but it did not turn out well, the picture and text on the mug were faint. I will try your settings tomorrow Paul

lol...never had 4 sales of mugs at one time to find out yet

found my vid camera - and found the power lead...now i need to find the dam cable to transfer it over to my pc...so i can show you this.....i aint telling porkys here...honest, no point tbh

and....
we are talking about single mug here and the last confab on here about times ect....was for one single phone case, and a single mug...at any one time..remember

4 mugs at one time will obviously need more time...but def not 700mins lol

i just tried 170C for 350 sec. Turn out ok ish. I started the count down as i would with my standard press, When temp stopped dropping. Just don't like sprees paper with my Ricoh and... This ricoh icc profile is winging me up!! :rolleyes:
