Hmm, like the t-shirts, fairly easy to have these done locally.

BTW for the UK, check out http://www.fujilab.co.uk/i_prints.html - mugs,
tshirts, mousemats, posters, etc. Prices seem pretty good

I'd be surprised if they can do a 310 degree print on a mug. From
what I see all they do is a 'two sided' mug.

My idea is to have a panoramic render printed on it.

Mmm, nice. Would the buyer submit an image - perhaps choosing whether to have an
optional overlay of the pov logo?

BTW, Lu has offered to pay for me to have a tatoo for my b-day. I'm thinking of
having the Pov 3.5 logo (YKYHBRTL). I'd call this a marketing suggestion, but I
can't see how you'd market it ;)

I think the notable success of the keyring idea is that it is hard for someone
to do for themselves via local suppliers. I'm trying to think of other products
falling into the same catag. So far the only thing I've come up with a magnetic
hovering mirrored ball floating over a check plain - a sort of executive toy
thing.

Nope, the local firms that do that use a proper 'print, glaze and fire' process
that doesn't lend itself to one-offs. I think you may find that the one-off type
mugs that you can get done won't be dishwasher-proof, either.

Yes, I would actuallly use the coffee mug, whereas the key ring
would be purchased just to have as a collectable and show
support for POV-Ray.

Unfortunately I never use the mug I have, I'm not to big on using handled
drinkware.  Although, mugs are pretty good showpieces too actually.  I just
never have any because, as already said, I never use them to begin with.
Otherwise there'd be several on a counter here and a POV-Ray one would go
nicely I guess.
What I could, and do, use often is a can or bottle wrap, insulator, coozie,
whatever.  Check this web page out:
http://baskets4u.com/Can-cooler2.htm
Just found it and looks very good really, since they can print onto one or
two sides or wrap-around.  Very inexpensive too, but would be more a volume
sales type of thing perhaps to get reasonable money flow.

Yes, no problem (apart from the standard one of finding a shipping container that
will protect the mug ;)

Hmm, when does Planet POV-Ray open?  We could sell clothes, jewelry, spark
plugs and food, all with the wonderful POV-Ray logo! :)
