Oh Bugger!

Please Note: Always remember to remove film Before Heat Pressing!!

lol, I thought I would share my disaster with the forum,

I always wondered what would happen.............. Thanks for saving me some money.

Will you be able to get the backing off by damping it, or is that one ruined. I'm just beginning so forgive if it is a daft question.

I think that is knackered, oh well, it goes with the 30 odd mugs I have buggered up, I am a beginner myself, I sold up one business to do this and all I have done so far is have a really good laugh, I have got mugs and badges down to a tee, and working n plaques now,
The waste is a pain but we chose to do it so im doing it with a smile!

Sounds like you have a super attitude Pete. I wish you the best of luck. I too am a beginner and have a shelf full of buggered up mugs!

You do have a great attitude :biggrin: I hope to get my first Heat Press by next week. I am gong to start with children t shirts. But would love to do Plaques too. The more I read the forum I can see my shopping list get longer. :rolleyes:

When I did it with a phone case a good soaking and rubbing made it come out good (actually better than when I was doing it right back then as I was getting mixed results)

In case you are not aware the image you are using (a poor quality thumbnail as well) is an item under copyright by the metal plaque maker who issues them

Clearly you are not aware that I was only trying out some new plates I had purchased (and yes off Ebay!) , I started doing this as I am a very good artist and have hundreds of designs in my portfolio which I have compiled over 40years.

But thanks for the 'poor quality' comment, appreciated, I may be new to dye sublimation but I am assuming if you want to compare colours on new products or be it new ink, or any other process, then you set what is known as datum, a comparison if you will which shows all colours as expected and thus a comparison to which to compare products/finishes, hence adjust times temperatures accordingly, But hey! im a dumb newbie, what would I know,

Well said Pete! (for a newbie).

Mrs Maggot, I hope that T-Shirt on your profile pic isn't a breach of copyright? Tut tut tut..... and well done for making a new member (like myself) feel like he can post his troubles and ask for advice.....
