The photographic grid under a heat-sensitive coating in matte black. The mechanism matches the glossy version and the surface does not reflect, which on the densest layout we print is the single most useful difference available.
A grid leaves almost no empty space on the printed face. On a glossy body the reflection of the room has to sit somewhere, and the only place left for it is across the photographs themselves, moving as the mug is turned. Matte scatters that light instead, so the ground stays evenly dark and every cell keeps its own edges. The rule across our whole range is that the denser the layout, the more matte earns its place, and nothing in the catalogue is denser than this one.
Matte ceramic grips slightly where glaze slips, which most people prefer with a full hot mug, and it does not collect the finger marks gloss shows around the handle. At rest it looks like a plain dark mug and gives no sign that there are photographs underneath at all, which for a mug carrying a private history is usually welcome rather than a drawback to be worked around.
Everything printed here is seen through the coating, so well lit pictures surface confidently and dim ones struggle. That is the recurring problem with grids, which are usually built from long relationships and therefore from material that predates good phone cameras. Our designers lift the contrast on each cell individually and will say which files sit below the useful threshold rather than printing them regardless. Where most of the archive is old, the plain white or coloured versions of this grid are the safer choice.
The coating clears upward from the base over a few seconds. The same grid is available in glossy heat-reveal black, in plain white at three capacities, with a coloured handle, with a heart-shaped handle, and with love you wording added. Whichever body you choose, the grid itself is laid out the same way, and only the plain white body offers the larger capacities, which on a grid enlarges every cell at once.
Only a hand wash is safe for this coating. Do not put it in the microwave. Sublimation is how the hidden image is printed. If an original looks flat, Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
