Hi All,
I was hoping you could help?
I have recently bought a mini 3D sublimation machine and have been reading through the 3d sublimation threads but wondered if anyone had any success stories on the temperate/times and any hints and tips.
is it best to use the mug clamps or the silicone vacuum?

So I thought I would try 190C for 300sec in the mug clamp but it did not turn out well, the picture and text on the mug were faint. I will try your settings tomorrow Paul
