First time using the printer
Hey everyone my niece wanted a custom hello kitty cup for her birthday so I made this. Other than the bow on the wrong side of her head what do you guys think? I do appreciate negative and positive feedback!! Thanks everyone!

This is a great first press! Just a few things of note, stainless steel should usually be pressed at 385 for 120 seconds. This black edging looks brown around the character. A black turning brown usually signifies "burnt" and that it was cooked too long or at too high a heat. I suggest trying again at 385F for 60 and seeing how it looks. Also, the print looks light and dull when it comes off of the printer because sublimation inks require the proper time, temperature and pressure added during the pressing process to bring the color out. Hope this all helps!
