Phillips screws
FIG 8: Use a phillips screw-
driver to remove the screws
holding the fittings to the
mug attachment frame
The mug attachment operation is a little different then the others.
Caution:
The mug attachment has a very small platen so it heats up quickly. Make sure
the press is powered off before attempting to attach the mug attachment.
1) Check the pressure of the press. The mug attachment can be used with other heat
platens connected to the handle as long as it is plugged in.
2) Move the mug attachment handle backwards to open the sleeve and insert a mug. Pull
the handle forward to securely contain the mug in the sleeve.
3) To activate the timer for mug attachment use, the handle must be lowered as if you
are using the shirt attachment. Once you have placed your mug in the sleeve, lower
the heat press handle to start the cycle timer. At the end of the cycle, raise the heat
press handle to silence the alarm and push the mug attachment handle backward to
remove the mug.
4) Like the standalone MP5 EnduraPress mug press, you can use various mug fittings
with the mug attachment to decorate mugs of different diameters. The default fitting
is designed for 11oz mugs. To change to a larger or smaller fitting, remove the screws
with a phillips head screw driver and disconnect the power cable from the control
panel. For more information on mug fittings, please click here or refer to the MP5
User Manual.
TIP:
Sublimation continues as long as the surface temperature remains at or near 400°F.
If the mug is still hot after the transfer paper is removed, the ink may sublimate as
heat rises from the mug surface resulting in ‘ghosting’ or hazy blurry transfers. To stop
the sublimation process after you remove the transfer paper, dip the mug in a bucket
of cool water. This will ensure a clear, sharp transfer.
