Printer's installed (only took 2 calls to Listawood!!!) ;O)

and first mug printed.....!! Really happy with the results although I was a numpty and forgot to order heat tape, so I'm now going to search for the brown tape from tesco someone recommended as a stop gap!!!! Managed to get an amazing red through the Powerdriver (the icc profile couldn't match it..long story....had to install and re-install both so thought I'd try it with just the icc profiles first as recommended by Lwood......staying with Powerdriver now!!) Thank you for all the information that's given on these forums......now for a night of printing!!! ;O)
Photos will follow but I'm away to do the school run right now!!!!

Well done - bet your really chuffed, I cannot wait to see pics of your designs on a mug, I think they'll sell like hot cakes.

Great stuff, I be you cant wait to see your designs on items, dont forget your flatpress lots of goodies for your teddys to go on, i bet they would look great on some of the bags.

Hi John and Viccar....yep I can't wait. Bought some bags Vicky but just the totes and children's rucksacks...going to get some messenger bags for my steampunky stuff. Also, my rhinestones arrived....ord

Cannot really tell due to the photo but it looks like you have a decent press that prints top to bottom - I couldn't do that on my coralgraph mug press, it would fade to much.

I heated up the mug's bum (as per advice found on here)..wrapped it in paper and folded over the bottom (more advice) and didn't put it right down to the bottom of the press (yep, you guessed it) so yes, it does go right down...however, the other side is slightly squinty 'cause I don't have tape, but I'm not showing you that side!!!!! Oh well...lesson learnt....this is now MY mug and it had a flaw round the rim anyway!!!! :rolleyes:

Which coralgraph press have you got john>?

Looks very good Fairy look forward so seeing them on bags and things, what size rhinestones did you buy?

Looks great Gayle Personally I prefer to leave a 5mm gap top and bottom as I think it works in better with the gaps next to the handle. That said, it't great that you can achieve full wrap and this will be useful for you in the future

Hi Justin, thank you....yes, I'm going to leave a small gap too....I just had to 'wing' it for the first ones as I was too impatient to wait for tape!!!
