5. obtain optimum results with the Plastic mug Pressure The Plastic mug is an injection moulded polymer with a uniform tight tolerance surface As a result there is no need for high pressure to achieve good contact between the transfer and the mug No matter which mug press you are using you should set the pressure as low as possible High pressure can cause deformation of the mug ghosting of the outline of the transfer paper and impression from the heating element It is a good practice to make your transfer paper size either 89 x 216mm or 89 x 235mm regardless of the size of the image to eliminate the potential for ghosting This also helps with the proper alignment of the image on the mug Depending on your mug press you may be able to get a full top to bottom print due to the straightness of the mug Some mug press heating elements have a pattern on the surface which can transfer to the mug The use of a Teflon sheet can prevent such transfer The design of one mug press is such that the compression of the heating element is elliptical instead of round and deforms the mug regardless of the pressure setting Temperature The Plastic mug has a melting temperature of 221 C 430 F If you are melting the surface of the mug you are well above the temperature required for sublimation to occur and should adjust your settings downward Remember the temperature setting of the mug press reflects the design of the controls and the position of the
