Hi there,
I’m new to this forum which so far has been of great interest and use but has left me a bit befuddled with so much info. So first of all, thanks for that!
We’re looking at providing multiple quantity clothing for events so looking at producing numbers between 20 - 100 of one design. This could be full colour or a single colour. We’ll also produce branded mugs at mid volume (in the 100’s rather than one offs but not in the 1000's).
I want to make sure we’re buying suitable equipment for a small but professional and quality set up. I don’t want to feel we’ve under invested but also don’t want to be spending where don’t need to at this stage.
I am looking at buying:
- A4 TMT/OKI 610 Digital Colour Laser Printer (not the white toner one which everyone seems to be trying to sell us) - for colour transfers up to 42cm x 22cm onto the clothing
- Graphtec CE 6000 - 40 plotter cutter (for vinyls and cutting out of transfers)
- Swing Head Manual Press - 38cms x 50cms (from The Magic Touch)
then for printing mugs:
- Ricoh SG3110 Sublimation printer
- Single mug press from Magic Touch (can’t find the brand name but they're £195 each)
Any thoughts on this set-up and whether it would work for what we need? Any other recommendations?
Also, what are peoples thoughts on the Magic Touch software? Is it as idiot proof as they say?
Many thanks
