Wordprints The Art Of Technology

Often we see a mug with a photo on the outside. Perhaps you see a friend in the office, or a neighbor’s child’s birthday gift, maybe you want him to be given to someone that you care. It fits perfectly to provide a photo mug with grandchildren to grandparents. Soon Lebaran lho.

Your idea certainly more than me.

How do I create one? very easy, here’s how

Prepare a photo (digital / scan). Resolution should not be too small for image printout is not broken, it is suggested above 3 Mega pixels. One photo or several photos can be combined in one image. Many applications can be used for editing, I alone was enough to use power point. Do not forget to adjust the results of editing the field on the mug. The part that can be printed on the mug is the length of 21 cm and height 9 cm. Add text or artwork and others as you wish. If the trouble can I edit I can help, please refer to the end of this paper.

Then prepare the transfer paper in the printer. Do not use a HVS because it is still less flat. Use the sublime ink to print, remember always to print a mirror because of prints will be transferred to the mug. The prints with this ink will appear darker than the original color. Do not worry because not all the ink can move to the mugs at the time of transfer. To ride the print in my place, please see the bottom of this post.

The next paper in the paste on the mug with the picture facing the mug. Use heat-resistant tape to attach. To be able to print photos on mugs required special mugs that have been given a special coating welcome. So not just any mug can be used.

Press with mug press machine for 40 seconds at 200 degrees Celsius then the image on the paper will move on the surface of the mug. This press machine uses 700 watts of electricity used to heat the filament it. The heat is what makes the ink on the paper to evaporate (from solid to vapor = sublimes) and make the outer layer expands mug. The ink will evaporate trapped layer is expanding. So move tuh drawing.

Be careful, once opened do not jump on hold … still hot
