Producing Mugs choice between Sublimation or Digital colour laser

[Hillman]

If you have the Corel suite you will have PhotoPaint and that is probably easier to use tham Gimp and also inter-acts with CorelDraw better.
You are where I was this time last year with sublimation, bit of a learning curve but very satisfying when it comes good.

Thanks for the advice, I'll see if i've got it but i've only got the trial version of CorelDraw at the moment. I've tried Gimp on both PC and Mac and the Mac seems better to me.

My problem is spacing multiple images on a A4 sheet so that I minimise waste. I'm almost there, but I've had my equipment since Monday and I haven't printed any Images yet!!!

Very simple in Draw to position images/text/objects. If you have downloaded the complete suite then you will have PhotoPaint but not necessarily all the fonts and clipart. If you have any specific questions about Draw post it here or PM me or call

spacing multiples is super easy in corel, just select and CONTROL D - if you drag the dulpicate to where you want it to be, and keep doing control d it will keep replicating using that spacing.
then select all and align all
You can also setup a default duplicate spacing, but why bother?

In addition to that you can
Press the + key, this will place a duplicate directly over the original
Move any object and press the space bar where you want a duplicate to be
Select all objects press: T to make then all align with the top - B for bottom - C to centre horizontally - E centre vertically.
Use the align and distribute option to space evenly
If you like to use the duplicate feature this can be set to the offset
There is also a step and repeat feature and toy can also use the transform docker to make duplicates at set spaves X and Y
and of course if you use pages you can do imposition from print preview before you print and I will use this option for output of multiple copies

I am currently using Listawood 10oz Duraglaze coated mugs, I have also used RN coated BMS mugs in the past. I was/am satisfied with both but you do get a membership discount with Listawood
