The reason I joined this forum was to get help! I am glad I did! I turn these our fairly quickly now with the most recent order being 100 mugs for RAF Lossiemouth!
Then a new print today with mugs too!
My problem was photmugs and the problems at the top and the bottom! The first mug I did today you can see at the top that there is not enough paper been taped to the mug - the rest are fine - the turning of the mug in the middle of the heat cycle did the trick so thank you for all your valuable advice - I am nearly there and patience is a virtue! My thanks to the many of you who post your hints!

Wouldn't say that I have nailed it yet but getting there - the thing is continuity and as I have so much other things to do sadly I don't have that! It has been a slow process with plenty gone in the bin but I have no regrets buying the machine and the help and encouragement from BMS and this board has kept me going! I spent hours reading the pitfalls and hints of others to learn and boy did it help! Thanks again!

Mugs look great. Good artwork really does make a pro product.

Good stuff Gill! Which mug press did you go for? Mine (very old Chinese combi-press) is on it's last legs and cannot produce top-to-bottom images like that!

Look good. A nice market for some decent orders if you have a regular way in as well.
