Thanks Justin - not trading yet - got to earn my stars first, but nicer than a blank space

Well done Rob - looks excellent. What was the final settings for time, temp and pressure?

Time - 195 sec
Pressure - quite a bit
Temp - 180 C
How do I reduce the darkness of the colours? Do I reduce the time?

Thanks for the info Robert / Paul - I'm happy with the way I do mugs but have stayed away from full wraps thinking it was the presses downfall. Maybe its time to start experimenting a little.
Cheers John

I thought I would show how my 5th mug turned out. I did this one at the same pressure and temp, but took the time down to 180 sec
It's not a full wrap, just image one side, text the other - and I just realised tonight that this is the same image that tesco use - although they have switched to a winter theme of the family - I purchased the image from istockphoto.com. Just to set that clear, having had somewhat of a debate over copyright in other posts

Can be difficult to re-produce this type of image sometimes. The sky dissapears if you don't get the contrast just right.
I was in "A" Supermarket recently and they had their range of sublimated products. Quality was very poor, they should have been ashamed

I used it as it was the first decent one on page 1 when I searched for family. It was only after I purchased it, and used it that I realised that Tesco did also

I't just for a demo mug, so it'll do
