Sub Mugs aren’t Dishwasher proof
as some of you know i have been sublimating mugs at uni and now am trying to do some of my own. well i made some for friends of some pictures of us at Blackpool. today have had a call from one saying the mug is ruined after she put it in a dishwasher….. how can this be when the mugs were Rhino and said they were dishwasher safe??

You’ll have to speak to your suppliers for their view on this, but there are various coatings for mugs on the market and some are better, or worse, than others. If you’re looking for the best coating on mugs then you shouldn’t go wrong with those that are RN Certified (they named after the US guy that invented the coating). The RN coating is totally guaranteed dishwasher safe. You might spend a few pence more on the mugs, but it’s better than having to replace them. Do a Google search for RN Certified and you’ll find out a lot more about the coating.

You may just want to add a sticker to the bottom or tell them they are not dishwasher safe.

Where did you get the mugs?
-
these were from dom global and i also have some from another company can’t remember which but if it comes to me i’ll post.
my dad is going to buy me a mug machine, we are on the net now looking, i miss out on oneon ebay earlier, a good one as well…gutted, was looking atmaybe buying a mug machine and something to do coasters.
any suggestions

adding a t-shirt press will allow you to do t-shirts, sweat shirts, coasters, table mats, jigsaws, mouse mats etc etc

By mug machine, do you mean a mug press or the table top convection oven that is sold under the name of "Mug Machine" ? Be wary if you buy from ebay make sure it is a recognised brand and not a cheap chinese import.

one problem Rob, the cost, my dad will only fork out so much…lol i told him i’ll make do with what i have but we can’t fix the cold spot since we had the blanket off, so it’s a new one 😛

You can get replacement heat blankets for mug presses without having to buy a completely new mug press. Depending on what model you have there may be new heat blankets to fit which should correct any cold spot.

If the mug was true Rhino Coat then it should be fine. Whether it is Dishwasher Proof or even Dishwasher Safe the print should not be affected for quite a while.

Have you considered using wraps instead of a press, you can use them with a dedicated table top convector oven or in your ordinary oven, http://www.sublisupplies.com/mug-machine/the-mug-machine-sn0351/prod_18.html

Isn’t this the same as the JML oven with extra ring? http://www.jmldirect.com/Halogen-Oven-Ring-PH1600/

Certainly very similar and I know some people are using that one. The mug machine appears to have a metal bowl now it used to be glass like the JML one. But you don’t get the big sticker that says Mug Machine 😀

not buying one of those, i just want what i am used to in my short time doing this. Dad thought he’d found one on ebay, a yellow one, i don’t like it, lol

There use to be a lot on there, but I guess with the summer and all, people are snapping them up 🙁
I think I’ll be getting ours from Novachrome as a full kit.

This almost fits within your budget (pretend the VAT is not there!!!) D160 form BMS Its the same as I use, and find it very versatile, but a little fiddly to change blankets. Excellent starter……..
