Why has no one every done this ?
Printed Loo roll that's a crap idea no its a brilliant idea, loads of idea's even just wash your hands you dirty turd on it.

There are suppliers that do this................ and with printed money notes etc on
There are also suppliers with tea towels for nearly every holiday/touristy region in the uk and those that print placemats coasters mugs book marks tea towels key rings notepads etc etc from your own local area and sometimes your own design

If it is the type of mug printing I'm thinking of she will also need a decent sized kiln to glaze fire the mugs after the picture is put on the mug.

I think there would be more of a market for putting peoples own pics in mugs

I actually like that idea too, think of the shock when some ones face appears when you have just swigged your last bit of tea!
One point, there are many people trying to get a bit of an income from all sorts of things, its a simple equation, look at the cost and then then selling price, then I think the key issue is marketing, you can sell anything, if you do the right sort of marketing to the target group!! Know your market!

Check the prices on the photo websites ........ they all do mugs, etc ............. can you do it better/cheaper? If so then great.

Maybe a good present for any split up relationships or "mother in laws" although I like mine not sure I want her at the bottom of my tea...maybe a huge spider photo...mind you, that may cause heart failure!!

Chinese can do stuff cheap (and often poor quality - I speak as one who had a Japanese Panasonic bread maker that last over a decade but the Chinese Panasonic that replaced it lasted just 18 months .....) but if you find your niche ... how about local clubs, weddings, etc.?

Bit late here but I am always slow on the upstart $:-\$
I had a 2014 calendar printed for my Ravelry group . It was very popular and I am now taking photos for a 2015 edition. But I did know it was sold in advance. I am also planning a mug with a sheep motive and puttin in two very small homemede jams - cloudberry and blueberry. Again, I will know that they are sold in advance. I would not dare start such a project without knowing I had the customers.
