The photographic grid under a heat-sensitive black coating on a high gloss body. Of everything we print under this coating, a grid produces the largest change between cold and hot, because the layout covers nearly the whole printed face.
With a single picture, the coating uncovers a picture. With a grid, there is almost no black ground left between the cells once it clears, so the mug does not reveal something; it becomes a different object entirely. Nothing else in our catalogue changes this much in the few seconds after a hot drink goes in, and that alignment is the reason to pair this particular layout with this particular mechanism.
Everything here is seen through a clearing black layer, and a photograph that was already dim has very little to give. Grids are usually assembled from long relationships, which in practice means old scans taken in poor light, and that is exactly the difficult case for this coating. Our designers raise the contrast cell by cell and will tell you which images fall below the point where adjustment helps. If most of your material is old, the plain white version of this grid will serve it better and you lose only the theatre.
A high gloss black body behaves like dark glass, holding a clean reflection of the room while the mug is at rest. It is the finish that looks like a deliberate object rather than a plain dark cup, which matters if the mug is going to be seen as much as it is used. The cost is a bright highlight that remains after the reveal and moves across the cells as the mug is turned; the matte version removes it.
The coating is opaque below about body temperature and reseals as the drink cools, so the mug goes dark before it is empty. Send the brightest versions of your pictures you can find. The same grid 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, and the larger capacities exist on plain white alone, which on a grid is the one change that enlarges every cell at once.
Hand wash only. Keep it out of the microwave. Sublimation is how the hidden image is printed. If an original looks flat, Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
