The dad collage under a heat-sensitive black coating on a high gloss body. The mug shows nothing until something hot goes into it, then the coating clears from the base upward and the whole arrangement surfaces over a few seconds, closing again as the drink cools.
Collage layouts cover nearly all of the usable surface, so when the coating clears there is almost no black left between the frames. A single photograph under this coating is a picture appearing in a space. A collage is the entire object changing into a different one, and that difference is why people buy the layout and the mechanism together. Nothing else in the range changes this much between cold and hot.
Everything printed here is seen through a clearing black layer, and a photograph that was already dim has very little to give. Pictures of fathers are disproportionately old scans taken in poor light, which is exactly the hard case. Our designers raise the contrast frame by frame and will tell you which images fall below the point where adjustment helps, rather than printing them and letting you find out. If most of what you have is old, the plain white version of this design will treat it better and you lose only the theatre.
A glossy black body behaves like dark glass, carrying a clean reflection of the room when the mug is at rest. That is why it looks like an object rather than a cup, and why it is the version people choose when the mug will be displayed as much as used. The cost is a bright highlight that remains after the reveal and moves across the frames as the mug turns, which the matte version removes.
The coating is opaque below about body temperature, so the mug is blank again before it is empty. The same collage is made in matte heat-reveal black, in plain white with three capacities, with a coloured interior, with a coloured handle, with a heart-shaped handle, and with thank-you wording.
The mug is microwave safe. It is dishwasher safe if it sits on the top rack. Washing it by hand keeps the colour brightest.
Printing is done by sublimation rather than as a sticker. For a faded original, Colour Enhancement is $1.99 per image. Hand wash if you want the print to stay vivid.
