TRANSFER PROCESS
- Preheat your mug press before use.

- Put the mug in the press.
- Press by using the settings below.
- IMPORTANT : The timer of the mug press should not start until the mug has reached the set temperature.
- If your press does not do this automatically, increase the press time to 4 minutes!
- Cool the mug down by dipping into cold water.
- Make sure the transfer media is soft before peeling.
- ATTENTION : At this point, the mug is very hot. Take precautions when moving the mug.
SETTINGS MUG PRESS

TIPS & TRICKS
- The light marks that may appear after the application process, can be easily removed with Isopropanol.
- Using the Mug Press Silicone Pad helps distribute the heat evenly around the whole mug & transfer. The pressing parameters can vary by using a silicone pad.
- If you put the mug in the oven at 160°C / 320°F for 15 minutes the scratch resistance will be better.
