* Print transfer and attach to the mug using a heat resistant tape. Wrap the bank with pellon or plain white paper.
* Place the mug in the press
* GeoKnight and other mug presses without an Idle: 400F / Time: 240-300 seconds 
* 4in1 mug presses with Idle: Idle 212F Processing 360F / Time: 100-180 seconds

Print the transfer. Note that the typical imaging area is 1.25” in from the handle and .25” from the top and bottom sides of the cup. 
1) Tape the image to the camp cup.  2) Wrap in protective paper.  3) Insert in mug press.  365 degrees F for 210 seconds.  4) Remove transfer asap 
Note: Camp cups are stainless steel coated with enamel and then coated with a clear sublimation coating. No chemical product that can contaminate food is used in these processes. The enameling is a dipping process and as a result we can’t promise 100% perfect for all the enamel cups. Slight specks, dots, bulges, potholes are acceptable (excluding slight enamel loss).   Hand washing is recommended.

* Print transfer and attach to the jar using a heat resistant tape. Wrap the bank with pellon or plain white paper. 
* Place the jar in the press but DO NOT close the heating element for 60 seconds.  This will allow a pre-heat of the glass.  After the initial 60 seconds close the heating element and press

Note: While you can get a full bleed off the top of a Glass Mug, the bottom is very thick glass, and takes longer to heat up.  For the best results, we recommend leaving a space of at least 1 1/4” at the top and bottom of the mug.

Note:
•The key to achieving success with Morph Mugs is pressure. Too much pressure alters the morph effect; not enough may produce a washed-out transfer.
•The image for any of the mugs needs to be about .25” from the top and bottom of the mug and 1.25” from the handle. You always will be able to see the image dimly on the darkened morph mug. It will reveal the image brightly as the mug is filled with hot liquid and turns white.

Because the tumbler has a tapered top and bottom, we recommend using a wrap, shrink sleeve or tapered-mug press. 

All images should be MIRRORED . Trim the image to make it easier to position on your item and to reduce background. Secure your image to the object with heat tape to keep it from slipping or shifting. Depending on mug press, one or two heat conductive pads may be required. Place the item in your pre-heated heat press and follow the applicable instructions below. When pressing is done, gently remove the object and remove the paper (be careful not to let the paper shift across the surface of the object, or you may create a “ghost” image). When the object is removed from the press, just let it cool 

Please refer to the instructions below for the specific mug press that applies to you. 

4in1 Press (that uses Idle and press setting) With optional heat element    Press 350F; Idle 325F; Time 120-180 seconds 
Insure that the tumbler fits within the heat band of the mug press and does not have any gaps. |Wrap the tumbler with plain white paper. Place the tumbler in the press for 120-180 seconds. Remove the tumbler from the press and remove the transfer immediately. Place the bottle at room temperature to cool to stop the sublimation process. 

Knight DK3T Mug Press (no idle time)   Press 400F; Time 180-210 seconds (increase time for more saturation) If the image begins to look blurry, or burnt brown by over-pressing, decrease pressing time by 15-30 seconds.

If using a mug wrap, process in oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  Remove wrap and paper and let cool.

Trouble Shooting Notes:
*  After removing the mug the print appears to deteriorate.  This happens when the mug continues to cook after it has been removed from the press. You could either reduce the temperature slightly or to immediately halt the effect place the hot mug directly in a water bath.

*  The blacks look a bit brown.  This can occur if you are pressing at too higher temperature or you have 
*  Edges of the image are looking a bit faded.  Usually this can be prevented by increasing the pressing time.

When Using the 4 in 1 Mug Press
*  It is recommended that the heat press is turned off at regular intervals, eg.  every hour and allowed to cool.
*  The heating element is classed as a consumable as it will deteriorate after time. As an average you will generally get several thousand pressings from an element however the manufacturer’s guarantee is for pressing 500 mugs or 3 months warranty, whichever comes first.
