I have printed this image on a Ricoh Printer and the settings are correct. When I produced a mug the depth of colour and detail of the ears had been lost.
When I had a demo at xpress, they produced this onto a coaster and it looked perfect! Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong please.

Thank you.

How does it look on the paper before pressing?

Hi,

The colour looked fine, I was wondering if I was cooking them for too long!

It is probably to do with either temp or time presuming you are using decent quality mugs. Is there any way you can send a picture of the finished mug to compare?

You say the settings are correct - are you sure you have the powerdriver installed properly?

What mugs
What Press, times/temp
What software

All this info would help to get to the bottom of your problem.

I will upload a photo of the mug shortly, the internet is very slow at the moment.
I use photoshop, I purchased the Latte Mugs from the Transfer Press and I used the Halogen Oven set on around 15 minutes.

Make sure you're printing on the correct side of the paper. As you said the image looks 'fine' on the paper that might be the problem. It should look 'dull'.

Thank you, the instructions said I should be printing on the brighter side of the paper?

This is the mug, it is a bit washed out.

You are printing on the right side of the paper so no worries there and looking at your mug I would say it is a time issue.

Can you let us know what temp and time you pressed at?
