security802 686 Posted January 26, 2014 You have to use sublimation mugs, they have a special coating on them for the ink to bond to. http://www.uscutter.com/Blank-Latte-Mug-12oz-case-of-36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 19, 2014 Looks great, what about by handle? I keep getting faded/ brown at the handle edge on one side,What temp and time and paper do you use/ thanks george that is why I use cactus wraps and not a press- the handle is heated just like the rest of the mug and i don't get the fade. ricoh printer, cactus wraps, 15min at 400degrees. - at least 5 mugs at a time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
