your welcome Paul, pleased you liked them.
I would like to ask a question if anyone can help.? I recently bought a JML Halogen oven and have successfully pressed pictures onto ceramic money boxes, but I have only been doing one mug at a time for 12 mins if I had 2 or 3 would anyone know how long I would need to do them for?
Thanks to anyone who can help
Angie

Hi Angie, I haven't got a mug oven but saw these oven settings on another website - don't know how accurate they are but worth a try:
1 mug 12 mins
2 mugs 14 mins
3 mugs 16 mins
4 mugs 18 mins
Cheers John

Pretty much how long I used to cook them for when I had an oven. I settled on 20 mins for 4 mugs.

Thanks for the advise. Really helpful, John my patner suggested I come along to the forums if I needed help. Hope you won't get fed up with me.

Not at all, we're all at different levels with sublimation and enjoy helping each other along the way. I've been doing it for a long time but I'm still learning

Hope it turns out as good as mine Justin I was so pleased, I have a mug press thats quite old I bought from ebay ages ago, and I must have cracked more mugs than I made and was so disapointed I gave up. And when John told me I could use my halogen oven I went onto a web and bought the new clamps and the outcome was brilliant. I put the money box in luke water not cold just to prevent any cracks, it just took a bit longer to cool.
Geesh this is quite addictive I will be looking at my computer all day now.

Hehe, welcome to addiction!
I've never done the boxes so it'll be interesting. I use a DF10 mug press.
