I joined the forum 18 months ago when I was looking to start offering small volumes of mugs, but never got as far as any kit (just soaked it all in) as the lovely socialgiraffe was local and I figured I may as well outsource, like all my other print.
However for a couple of reasons I had a look again at getting a press, and picked up a Ricoh and Adkins studio on eBay for £130 so thought it worth a go (Simon, anything 12+ on a run is still yours as I'm not that dedicated, and the delivery costs are worthwhile!)
It came with some TMT paper and some Orca mugs, and 5 later, I *think* I'm already sussed on timings - 200° and 130 sec was preset (for these mugs at least), and it's bringing out decent colours and a clear print.
However the limitations in my process are with my trimming, I'm not getting the trim straight enough at top/bottom so one or other is a bit skew-whiff. I've got a Rexel Classiccut which isn't great I feel.
So, is it worth trialling some pre-cut paper, or is there a trimmer you guys recommend? Obviously, it's more difficult to line up the artwork to mug when you can't see it.
TMT don't do pre-cut from what I can see, and I've seen you all talk about the Trupix paper but I can't find that precut.
