Most Common Sublimation Problem:

1. PINWHEELS ON PRINTED SUBLIMATION TRANSFERS

Pinwheels, also known as roller marks or pizza wheel marks, are dotted lines that can appear on sublimation transfers. These marks are caused by the ink on the paper not drying fast enough, resulting in the wet ink being picked up by the roller and transferred onto the rest of the paper, particularly in the case of full-coverage dark-colour images.

It is important to note that this issue is not caused by the printer itself, but rather is a characteristic of sublimation-coated paper. To address this issue, the following steps can be taken:

1. Clean the gears with alcohol using a riband if black dots (pinwheels) are present.
2. Use economic paper to avoid this issue. Additionally, using a longer time and higher temperatures will not result in a significant difference in the printing results between premium paper and economic paper, particularly for mug printing.

If you still want to use premium sublimation paper, try reducing the speed and providing more time for the paper to dry before it exits the printer. Additionally, reducing print density can also help improve this issue. check the following picture for the setting.

It should also be noted that pinwheels can be a random issue and may or may not appear from the start.

As such, it is important to choose your printer carefully as this issue cannot be used as a reason for a refund.
