Hi Goldrapt, - is this instruction not for CMP/laser mugs?
I use TMT product, and have never re-cooked any sub product.

CPM paper is a laser product for hard surfaces like ceramics. The paper and toner then basically sticks to the outside of the mug which is different to sublimation so you will have to do something else (like you say) to try to get it more glossy but the gloss effect of sublimation is immediate.

from my experience I always remove the print, then dunk into room temp' water and leave in until cold to touch. Had one or 2 crack but have printed 100's so not a bad 'return' in my book. Have left them to air cool and noticed some slight bleeding on ocassions so I'm a dunker !!

never used the dunking method. Always used this rather large fan lol.
Mugs sit on table to right of fan, on top of a old mouse mat.
never had any crack or bleed so far.
cools anything down quickly this thing does, and even blow dry's my dam hair if i wanted
