    We are just getting frustrated with high priced sublimation blanks and that mugs like the one attached here seem to be SO much better than one can do on a big production scale in sublimation (and consistent colours). So, this mug (see link) would be done via printer with ceramic inks onto transfer paper, sprayed to keep waterproof, placed on mug and then cooked in kiln still?

    Had a dig back, this was the company I looked at. If I remember correctly the printer was about £2500, Kiln £2000, then add any other bits that may be needed. I know I decided £7500 would allow set up and the proverbial wastage whilst learning.

    Quick edit....that was a lick the finger and see which way the wind blows way of establishing set up cost!

    Great link so thank you. They do leasing options as well. We will certainly look into this as demand for our ceramics grow.

    Tempted to start another thread called "how come a small piece of plastic from unisub called a double sided keyring costs over £1 to buy?!". Surely 15p should be more than enough damn it.

    No, that one looks like it is screen printed, which you will never be able to compete with, particularly on large scale runs. Screen print mugs are around the 30-40 mark, ink is naff all and if printed by a company like Listawood then the set up time is nominal meaning you could easily sell this mug at about 80p on a large bulk deal and be earning decent profit.

    The one previously was a water slide I think

    You may need to negotiate with your suppliers for a better rate on your mugs to get a better deal, or cut your profit down...

    That Ulster weavers mug you can get a Balmoral mug to get a similar result. Whilst you can get close to the handle you couldn't achieve what they do by waterside as they cut the transfer around handle. Full top to bottom can be done on a Balmoral though and you can actually achieve a better result on clarity and colours etc.

    We are looking to outsource our mugs later this year in reasonable quantities, far too many to produce via sublimation. On spending many hours surfing we are looking to this company to manufacture our range of ceramics and glass, They come recommended from a couple of designers that we know so we will give them a try once the house move is completed.

    Yes, we have people who have recommended heraldic pottery as well and in fact are going to approach them next week about work. Great minds!

    You could also try Listawood and Prince William Pottery, both very good printers.
