    Just recently bought 2 mug presses done a first run on them fine, went to print another batch and both seem when printed show the elements of the blanket, wondered if anybody else has encountered this and a cure
    Cheers

    Hi,

    I sometimes get a faint imprint from the surface of the blanket I just put a sheet of paper between the transfer and the blanket. But don’t understand the elements showing problem can you post a pic.

    Hi Ian,
    I am at home at the moment will try and post a pic on here tomorrow. So your saying put the print onto the mug then another bit of paper on top of that again??

    hi,

    Yes but I only do this if I can see the imprint of the blanket on the mug as the blanket is not perfectly smooth.

    or the clamp may be too tight.

    Possibly not enough heat but photos would be needed to confirm. Higher/time temp would cure if this was the cause.
