Tumbler press let's talk about it 🤩

Maybe it does but I don’t know how to do it :sweat_smile: all my prints are with borders even when I make puzzles but I don’t mind it because even though the puzzle size says that’s it’s A4 but actually it is slightly less so they come out fully printed.
This is my first puzzle my family :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’ll usually on the printer utility when you click print you select the size of paper it says A4 and then A4 borderless in the drop-down menu,
If this option comes up then it’s definitely borderless. I have a sublimation Sawgrass SG 500 and that is definitely not borderless however I do understand That when you buy puzzles, they are slightly smaller than a four, which make it an full a4 print when printed.

And it’s the same Loklik /HTVRONT as you know so I’m guessing your problem may be due to the materials. Check the website were you bought your mugs and see the recommendation too.

I never had issues with the coffee mugs, they turned out beautiful. But of course a it was my first time trying a tumbler…I ran into problems ha ha.

Also, did you let the tumblers cool completely before removing the paper?

I love my mug/tumbler press. I use this now and my universal mug press is now in a cupboard as back up.

Yesss always let everything cool completely coz the sublimation coating when it’s too hot can be damaged so easily.
As I was taking theug to cool down on the balcony, I saw a little piece of dust and thought to remove it and my nail hit the the mug :smiling_face_with_tear:
Another time when I made my first project I removed the paper while the mug was hot and also made a scratch on the coating. So I said no need to rush and it better to wait until they cool sown and I film the peeling process with no stress.

They all look wonderful. Thank you for letting us know your heat settings. May I ask what size (width) you make the design for an 11oz mug? I am making mine at 21.8cm and sometimes they look fine but sometimes I get ghosting so trying to figure out what the best size would be. Thank you!

Hello dear Tina , 21.8 cm is too much I’ll check exactly as soon as I open my Laptop but for 11oz mugs I’m pretty sure I do the designs between 20. 9 and 21.3 cm no more than that with the Tumbler press we will get ghosting (with any mug press) because the heat won’t affect the sides of the mug as it does to the rest , but when using an oven or airfryer you can wrap the whole mug .
And one more information it’s daid to stay away from the handle feom 1 to 2 cm both sides .
Or your thumb should fit between the handle and the design :sweat_smile:

Thank you, Marino, for the information. If you could confirm the exact measurements, that would be really helpful! I’ve wasted quite a few mugs trying to get the right temperature and sizing. Some full-wrap mugs turned out perfect at 240 seconds when I rotated them halfway through, but when I repeated the same process, the last one came out faded :thinking:. I also place a sheet of paper over the sublimation paper to prevent leaks. And one last question: do you peel the paper when it’s just out of the press or let it cool? Thank you :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
