Dye Sub Mug Question…
Hi all,
I have just completed my first trial run with dye sub mugs. A few questions for the experienced dye subbers here. I am using Mug Pro Press/ Espon 1290/ Riotech Ink/ Novachrome mugs/ Espon photo quality paper.
Firstly I cooked the mugs for 4 mins at 400C (using a lot of pressure )– quality was ok on the mugs but it seemed as if the paper was sticking to the mugs – the mugs were very rough – later when the mug had cooled down I was able to remove the roughness by scrubbing the mug with a rough cloth and water.
Tried again – this time cooked the mugs for 2.75 min at 375C (with very little pressure) – mugs were very faint and still had the rough effect of the paper sticking to the mugs.
So my question after all that is should the paper be sticking to the mugs – I can get the result I want by scrubbing away the roughness after the mug has cooled down but do I need to this for every mug or is it a matter of fine tuning with the time, temp etc…
Thanks in advance for any advice…
Moss.
