Mugs should be removed and dried before pressing.With the help of VectorDad I’m able to draw vector designs easily and it saves a ton of time!įrom the very first experience, I felt like I’ve opened a Pandora box, because after trying out this tool, I don’t know how I could continue my work without its help.
Soak mugs in a bowl of hot water for 5-10 minutes – this method is ideal for large print runs or bulk orders. Again the mug should be warm / slightly hot when handling. Fill the mug with boiling water and leave for 1-2 minutes. The mug should warm / slightly hot to the touch but not too hot to handle.
Prepress / preheat in your mug press – the blank mug can be placed into the heat press for 30-40 seconds. Mugs can be preheated in a number of ways we use the following methods depending on the particular job we are undertaking. Sudden temperature change can result in fine cracks in the ceramic or even shattered mugs. Preheating also avoid a sudden change in temperature when it is placed into the mug heat press.
Preheating also decreases the risk of fading towards the bottom of the mug – fading is common on the bottom of the mug as the ceramic is more dense this means it requires more heat to obtain a good even transfer from the design.
Preheating mugs helps to improve the reaction and transfer of ink yielding a better quality and more consistent transfer when heat pressed.It is advised to preheat your blank sublimation mug to ensure heat is within the ceramic before pressing.
