security802 686 Posted December 23, 2014 Idle Temp. Press Temp. Pressure Time 230F 330F Firm 60 sec. These instructions are perfect for one-at-a-time mug pressing. If you are pressing multiple mugs, or do not have success with the "pre-heating" directions above, please try the "Production Settings" to the right, or contact tech support at 1-800-562-7760! Attach sublimation transfer paper with image printed in reverse to the mug with thermal tape. Place mug in heat press on its side at the idle temperature of 230F, and close the element firmly around the mug. If the mug handle is touching the metal of the mug press, then it is too tight. Press the green PLAY button to begin the mug pressing cycle. Once done, remove the mug from the press and remove the transfer paper immediately. You may submerge in room temperature water or allow to cool in front of a fan to prevent the image from bleeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShowMeCleaning 53 Posted December 23, 2014 EL thank you, I'll try that. But I've also notice the black being like a milk chocolate coming out on my transfer paper. Where if I do a navy blue or dark blue its fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted December 23, 2014 Black looks golden brown on my paper. Have you tried different blacks like cmyk black and rgb black? They are different enough to show in prints. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
