FAQs
What kind of printer do I need?
You need a sublimation printer. This type of printer uses special sublimation inks that convert into a gas when heated, allowing them to bond with the mug's coating.
What type of mugs can I use?
You must use sublimation-coated mugs. The coating allows the ink to bond with the mug's surface.
How long does it take to press a mug?
Pressing times can vary. However, generally, it takes between 60 to 180 seconds, but this depends on the temperature and mug type.
How do I set the temperature and time?
Use the control panel on the mug press to set the desired temperature and pressing time. Refer to the specific instructions for your design and mug type.
How do I clean the mug press?
Wipe the exterior of the mug press with a damp cloth when it is cool. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
What if my design doesn't transfer correctly?
Check your temperature and time settings. Ensure the design is securely taped to the mug. Make sure you are using sublimation paper and ink.
Can I use this for other items?
The PixMax mug press is designed specifically for 11oz mugs and is not recommended for other items.
Troubleshooting
Mug design appears faded or incomplete.
Increase the pressing time or temperature. Ensure the sublimation paper is making good contact with the mug's surface. Check the ink levels and print quality on your sublimation printer.
Design is blurry or has ghosting.
Reduce pressing time or temperature. Ensure the design is tightly secured to the mug with heat tape. Check that the mug isn't moving during the pressing process.
Mug press isn't heating up.
Check the power connection and ensure the machine is plugged into a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Paper sticks to the mug.
Reduce the pressing time or temperature. Use heat-resistant tape to secure the paper to the mug. Make sure you are using sublimation paper and not regular printer paper.
