FAQs
What type of ink do I need for this mug press?
You must use sublimation ink. Regular inkjet or laser printer ink will not work for this process.
Can I use any type of mug?
No, only polymer-coated mugs are compatible with sublimation printing. Standard ceramic mugs will not accept the sublimation ink.
How do I clean the press surface?
Allow the machine to cool down completely. Wipe the PTFE-coated press surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
What is the warranty period?
The PixMax Sublimation Mug Press Machine comes with a 1-year electrical warranty.
How long does the transfer process take?
The time range is adjustable from 0 to 999 seconds. A typical transfer might take anywhere from 180 to 300 seconds, depending on the specific design and inks used. Always refer to your sublimation paper and ink manufacturer's recommendations.
Can I press other items besides mugs?
This specific attachment is designed for 11oz mugs. For other items, you would need different attachments or a multi-function heat press.
What are the dimensions and weight of the machine?
The machine dimensions are H:38 x W:22 x D:12 cm, and it weighs 6.9 kg.
Troubleshooting
Mug design is faint or incomplete
Check that sublimation ink and polymer-coated mugs were used. Ensure correct temperature and time settings are applied, and that pressure is adequately adjusted and evenly distributed.
Machine not heating up
Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the fuse if applicable and ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Design transfers unevenly
Adjust the pressure setting to ensure consistent contact with the mug. Make sure the mug is centered within the press and that the design is wrapped smoothly without wrinkles.
Mug feels too loose or too tight in the press
Use the adjustable pressure knob to tighten or loosen the grip on the mug. Ensure the mug is the correct 11oz size for the attachment.
