The forever and always design under a heat-sensitive black coating on a high gloss body. The mug is plain black until something hot goes in, then the coating clears from the base upward and the wording and the photograph appear over a few seconds, closing again as the drink cools.
There is a good argument for printing this particular design under a coating rather than on white ceramic. A mug that says forever is a private statement being made on a public object, and in a shared kitchen or an office that can be more exposure than either person wanted. This version shows nothing to anybody except the person holding a hot drink. The sentiment is unchanged and the audience is reduced to one, which for a private phrase is the correct number.
A word is recognisable by its shape before it is legible, so the line surfaces slightly ahead of the picture beside it. On a design built around a phrase rather than an image, that produces a reveal with an order to it: the shape of the words, then the words, then the faces. Photographs alone simply get brighter, which is a weaker piece of theatre than this design manages.
High gloss black carries a reflection and reads as dark glass at rest, which is the better look for a mug that spends time on a shelf. The price is a bright highlight that remains after the reveal and crosses the lettering as the mug is turned. On type that is a genuine consideration, and the matte version of this mug removes it at the cost of looking plainer when idle.
Send a bright photograph with a clear subject, since a dark image has little to reveal through black; our designers lift the contrast and will say if a file will not surface convincingly. The same wording is printed on plain white at three capacities, with a coloured handle, with a heart-shaped handle, and with birthday, love you or thank-you wording added. The larger capacities exist on plain white alone, since the coating is applied at one size.
It is hand wash only, with no exceptions. It is not microwave safe. The heat-reveal print is applied by sublimation. If an original looks flat, Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
