Schulze Mug Bottom Press for mug sublimation printing

Description

This professional solution directly answers a key question in the industry: how to print on the bottom of a mug using sublimation. It delivers precise, durable and repeatable results for professional production workflows.

How to print the bottom of a mug with sublimation?

Printing on the base of a mug requires a dedicated heating system. Standard mug presses cannot provide uniform pressure on this curved and narrow area.

• Use sublimation-compatible ceramic mugs
• Print with sublimation ink and transfer paper
• Position the design on the mug base
• Apply heat using a dedicated mug bottom press

The result is a sharp, durable and fully integrated print on the underside of the mug.
