Green Blur at bottom of mug

[Justin]

I used to have this problem a lot and found for me it was mainly due to the mugs. That said, a good press makes a difference as well. Which press did you get from Xpres? I now have no problem doing a full top to bottom wrap. I still avoid it if possible and put a 2mm gap as I personally feel this looks better but if the customer wants full wrap I do right to the bottom but leave a very small gap at the top rim as I find occasionally this doesn't give a crisp edge as though the coating isn't perfect there.

I always use a very firm pressure and ensure the blanket can be seen wrapping around the edges of the mug. 180c for 180 secs.

Well i got the mug press from xpres, its adkins branded, Studio Mug Press, only with a xpres sticker on it haha,

i think your right its the mug, i get pretty good results at high pressure, thanks for the tip, but i have to increase the time to 240 seconds (instead of 180 seconds), otherwise i get that green in the corner, it just looks like the bottom of the mug isnt heating up enough, i have a question about keeping a mug in the press while heating temp is reached and idle, why do you do this? i mean i'm sticking in a cold mug anyway so the temp would drop with everymug right?

Thanks for the advice, i'm almost there lol, need to get me some mugs....will have to put my price up though lol
