kkeeble 64 Posted November 26, 2018 can anyone recommend a mug press that will be used for dye sublimation. Mug press needs to be able to press latte mugs as well as the standard size mugs. Ive been looking at the Johnson Plastics JP-450 Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,296 Posted November 26, 2018 cactus wraps are the only way I found to get top to bottom and handle to handle images without fading from heat loss in those areas - I have had about 6 mug presses including 3 knights - same story on all of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeeble 64 Posted November 27, 2018 dakotagrafx just need to make it easy for the wife to use.. I know you like to use the texprint paper, but which one do you use.. also where do you get your mugs.. I just bought the SG400...on sale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,296 Posted November 27, 2018 The texprint-r paper is made specially for the Ricoh/sawgrass gell inks so that is what I use. Tried something else once and ink didn’t dry properly when doing multiple pages. Mugs I buy from Marck in Toledo Ohio. Best mugs period. Easy is nice but mugs without fade at handle or base is more important to me and do them in our oven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,296 Posted November 27, 2018 Here is one I did with a mug press and got the fade at the bottom - the mass acts as a heat sink and wicks the heat away 2nd one is with cactus wrap last one with wrap for one of the OCC employees with a wrap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
