FAQs
What kind of ink should I use?
You need to use sublimation ink with this printer. Sublimation ink turns into a gas when heated, which bonds with the special coating on sublimation mugs.
How long should I press a mug?
Pressing time varies based on the mug size and type. Start with the recommended settings for your mug, found in the included instructions, and adjust as needed. Generally, it will take a few minutes.
How do I choose the correct temperature?
The recommended temperature will vary based on the mug and ink type. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the mug, ink, and paper you are using. The mug press can reach up to 450°F (232°C).
What's the best way to clean the mug press?
Allow the press to cool completely. Wipe down the heating element with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Can I use this for other items?
This mug press is specifically designed for mugs. Attempting to press other items could damage the press or result in unsatisfactory results.
What if the image doesn't transfer?
Check your printer settings, make sure the mug is properly taped, and that the heat press has reached the correct temperature. Experiment with the pressing time.
Where can I buy replacement parts?
Contact MonsterShop customer support for information about replacement parts.
Troubleshooting
Mug image is faded or incomplete.
Increase pressing time and/or temperature. Ensure the mug is making full contact with the heating element. Check that the sublimation paper is making good contact with the mug.
Mug image has ghosting or blurred edges.
Reduce pressing time. Ensure the sublimation paper is taped securely to the mug and does not shift during the pressing process.
Printer not printing correctly.
Check ink levels (though empty cartridges are provided). Ensure you are using sublimation ink and the printer settings are configured for sublimation printing.
Mug press not heating up.
Check the power connection and the power switch on the mug press.
