I picked up 4/$1, plain white, ceramic coffee mugs. Basic, generic, straight sides.
Figured I could transfer some graphics using the same PCB method. Now, the blue transfer paper is a little spendy to play with, and I use a laminator for PCBs.
Basically looking for some suggestions on paper that will leave a clean transfer. Thinking of try the Staples brand photo paper I got, before getting the good blue stuff. Transfer pretty clean, but seemed the backing got a little melty, like plastic (got a little concerned about my printer and laminator, so stopped using it after a couple of boards).
Also, will have to use the clothes iron to apply. Not sure how this would work on a curved surface, or if I'll be able to get enough heat to do the transfer on ceramic. Had some thoughts of cuting some sheet metal to size to cover the paper, held together with a couple of springs or a screw clamp. Either baking it the oven, or using a propane torch.
Anybody got any experience with this?
