Video transcript

  1. 0:00Most logo mug problems start with the artwork file, long before the kiln.
  2. 0:05Start with one master vector file: outline fonts, flatten effects, one named color per element, plus full-color, one-color and reversed versions.
  3. 0:16On glaze, color is a target, not a promise. Reds, oranges and yellows shift most. Approve a fired tile in daylight and write the tolerance down.
  4. 0:27Thin and reversed lines fill in first. Get the decorator's minimums in writing, and test an actual-size print on a real mug.
  5. 0:37Place the logo on the decorator's template for that exact mug, below the rim, with the handle side decided. Approve only a proof stating method, colors and placement.
  6. 0:50Anything missing? Get a revised proof, not a verbal fix.
  7. 0:55Send your vector logo, quantity and in-hands date for a proof and quote.
