The heart frame design under a heat-sensitive black coating on a high gloss body. Cold, the mug is plain black and shows nothing. A hot drink clears the coating from the base upward, and the heart and the photograph inside it appear over a few seconds, closing again as the drink cools.
Outlines surface better than detail under this coating, because a recognisable shape registers before anything inside it is legible. The heart arrives first as a form, and the photograph fills in behind it a moment later. Designs without a strong silhouette simply get brighter as the coating clears, which is a weaker effect. Of everything we print under this coating, closed shapes like this one produce the most satisfying sequence to watch.
There is a practical argument here as well. A mug with a heart on it is a statement sitting in a kitchen where other people can see it, and not everybody wants that on a desk at work or in a shared flat. Here the shape only exists while somebody is actually drinking from it. The meaning is unchanged and the audience is reduced to one person at a time.
High gloss black carries a reflection and reads as dark glass at rest, which is the better look while the mug is doing nothing. The price is a bright highlight that stays after the reveal and travels across the heart outline as the mug is turned. On a design made of a single clean line, that is a real consideration, and the matte version removes it at the cost of looking plainer on the shelf.
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 design is made on matte heat-reveal black, in plain white at three capacities, with a coloured handle, with a heart-shaped handle and with love you wording. Plain white is the body to take if the photograph itself needs to print as accurately as possible, and it is the only one offered in a larger size.
Keep it out of the dishwasher and wash by hand. Microwave use will damage the coating. The picture is sublimated under the black coating. Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image. Hand wash only.
