I fancy getting a mug done as offered by many photo services e.g. Tesco. Just want a couple of logos and an image printed on.
Any recommendations / horror stories? I don't want to waste a tenner or whatever on something that'll flake off during the first few cycles through the company dishwasher!

My mum got one done with a photo for my stepdad. It's fine through the dishwasher and hand washing up. I think they glaze over the photo so it's dishwasher safe.

Don't know where they got it done but I think most places that provide that service use a similar process.

The office girl has an OCD habit of picking up your mugs when you're not at your desk, and putting them in the dishwasher. I could demand that she leave mine alone I guess

I most certainly do not. I'm a Lancastrian in exile...

It won't survive as long as a proper decorated mug, but essentially the process is not that different from the transfers used by Dunoon (mug maker) and they have the highest quality glaze in the world.

Ahh, that explains your 'devil may care' attitude with cash then. ;0)

Got one done a few years back by "imagecafe" ?) It's not been in a dishwasher, but otherwise fine and as new.
