I had a play with that as well. Decided time spent doing it versus extra charge for the mug .... didn't work out for me.
BUT I may revisit that idea.
Have fun with it Paul.
Janners.

I tried it as well and although I got fairly good results the sharpness was just not as good as I require.
Try printing some feint lines (.5pt width) and then you will see what I mean.

You can use a hat press attachment on some presses.

I posted some pictures I did in a quick test in a previous thread:

Just taped the paper on as tightly as I could, no wrap. I think as mentioned above, fine detail might be a problem.
