Process of Mug Printing
Mug printings are safe these days, and are different from old practiced impact printing. The printing company uses sublimation printing, a process originally used to print synthetic fibers for example t-shirts and garments. The principle is simple, mugs that is to be printed is given a thin coating of polyester resin. It is baked to increase its resistant with hot water and washing agents. This allows the user to wash whenever necessary.
Now a special paper or say it a photographic paper is printed with the design you want to get induced in the cup. Now comes the role of inkjet cartridges containing thermal transfer dyes. Later it is injected with the help of process of sublimation. Sublimation is the scientific process where a solid changes to the vapor state without becoming a liquid. The photographic paper is wrapped around the mug tightly so that it can be secured and later it is placed in the oven. A specific temperature is maintained for particular time period.
We are done with the 70% of the printing process. The dye sublimes is shifted to the polyester coating available on the mug. Later it is cooled to have a printed coffee mug.
The quality of the print depends upon the following factors.
