I came across the DSSI boil-test thread, after I posted here. Very informative thread.
The reason I asked, is, a while back, I had to borrow a couple of mugs to fill out an order. I had to search through about 8 mugs, before I found two, without defects, which ranged from, what looked like dirt under the coating, to chips in the mugs. The color was almost "oatmeal" compared to the bright-white Cactus mugs I had been using.
Sometimes, you just don't know what you have, til it's gone.
Happy to know the Cactus mugs are still here. :-)

Absolutely! That was the premise of my original complaint with Bob in one of those two threads....I'm glad they came through with something worthy of real world use.

I realize you're out of the mug end of Cactus, but I thought you may know the answer to this.
Today, I ordered a case of 12 oz. Cactus mugs from Marck & Assoc.
I asked the person on the phone if there were choices between "Premium" or standard mugs and a choice of coatings, between the Rich Neely (RN) and the "new" Cactus formulation.
I was told there was no differentiation between coatings or mug quality, other than the difference between inkjet and a coating for video printers.
When I receive the mugs, I'll definitely comment on their quality.
Is there a way, by looking at the mug (special marking on the mug itself?) or the shippping box, to know what coating is being used?

Mick,
I figured Steve would be up on the details. I only ordered from Marck because they're on the West Coast.
It's not that big a deal to me. I just like to be up to speed on the latest info regarding sublimation. It would be nice if the order takers were up to speed on the products they sell. :-)
