Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 12, 2014 must be using a mug press - rest looks goodhow did you get the fade at the top of the first one - that usually happens around the bottom and handle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted September 12, 2014 must be using a mug press - rest looks goodhow did you get the fade at the top of the first one - that usually happens around the bottom and handle I agree also just a heads up, it looks like you are taking the image and squeezing it in? You always want to have images stay in proportion never taking one of the handles and making it longer or wider to fit image into the blank if you know what I mean. The dog looks skinny in the dog tags as does the people on the right and the dog isn't centered in the dog tag.? If you are going to be selling these or donating them I would correct that first . Not trying to be a tool, just trying to help you out before you start to sell things to avoid potential problems .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not trying to be a tool, just trying to help you out before you start to sell things to avoid potential problems .... very true -- it is hard to get across to customers that the image has to really be proportional to what is is going on and you can't" stretch or shrink it - only crop it to make it look right.

Rip_frannie 47 Posted September 21, 2014 These were all just samples I did for myself, I figured it out. What it was , my mug press wasn't applying the pressure equally, so what I did was took the the picture down in scale a little , so there was about 1/4 of a inch from the top and the bottom. They turned out much better. Yeah Dakota that fade was a accident haha. also that was the first dog tag I ever did. The latest have turned out really good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
