Given the cost of the substrates and the cost of the ink when you consider mugs or t-shirts I think you've pretty well priced yourself beyond the competitive products.
That's why I don't consider mugs and T-shirts. :-)
Actually, mugs can still be profitable, even with the price increase.

I thought so too but there is breakage and scorching and rejects for various reasons. When they turn out well they are great but I had too many customers say they can buy mugs for $2-3-4. I just can't get there.
Being home based is a detriment relative to sublimation as well. Anyway, I just put my stuff up for sale. I didn't list the mug press but that may be next.

I saw your ad for sublimation equipment.
When people say they can buy $2-$4 mugs, they're probably not talking about a one-piece custom order. $20-$25 is what many are willing to pay, for that type of product.
