Fix common sublimation mug printing problems
| What you see | What to check first |
|---|---|
| Double edges or ghosting | Check whether the paper shifts when the press closes or the transfer comes off. |
| Pale band near the rim or base | Check that the element contacts the whole design. Try moving key artwork away from the edge. |
| Specks or small marks | Inspect the blank for dust and check the paper for marks. Clean and dry the mug before wrapping. |
| Unexpected colours | Check the nozzle pattern, paper side and colour settings. Compare a test swatch before adjusting time or heat. |
Change one variable at a time and keep the test mug and settings together for repeat jobs.
