    Re: Mousemats?

    Home to gifts have a very helpful PDF that gives a break down on costs for the Ricoh cartridges, but for some reason every time I try to open it lately, it crashes my browser :(

    Re: Mousemats?

    Are they worth adding to our catalogue or a waste of time
    I agree with Graeme as regards popularity. Certainly up there in the most popular 5 sublimation products sold. Ours are 23cm x 19cm and are 5mm thick. We used to offer the 3mm version but with cost of production being a couple of pence cheaper we decided to only stock the 5mm versions and have done so for several years now. We have one customer that advertise these as washable (put in the domestic washing machine if they get too dirty!).

    Our offering is at the link below with price breaks also on quantity...

    Re: Mousemats?

    My customer who has done the calculation uses ArTainium from us at £49.90 + VAT per 125ml using an R1800 printer, using the standard settings as recommended by Sawgrass.

    Andrew I hope you were not offended by my general comments on margins - I certainly appreciate that every penny matters, and I would be the last person to be casual about margins - the last week's fluctuations in the exchange rates which effectively increased our cost prices on a number of products by 7% in 3 days have certainly served to re-emphasize in my mind how carefully margins have to be considered.

    Re: Mousemats?

    I agree with Martin (who would think we were competitors :lol: ) we also used to offer 3mm mousemats and we sold hardly any and so we dropped them. The fabric mousemats are certainly machine-washable - but DON'T tumble dry them!!!!!

    Re: Mousemats?

    Of course not Graeme. I agree with you that for the majority in the subliamtion industry a few pennies will not matter. I should have mentioned that pennies matter for me specifically as I work mostly on trade printing. I have far lower margins than most ...... unfortunately. This is the reason I was more interested in the costs and today when I came into work and before reading this thread I sat down and started working out updated ink and paper costs to try and squeeze whatever I can. I use wideformat now so obviously slightly different but still relevant. I am currently quoting on large runs of sun screens which then emphasize the ink and paper costs further.

    Re: Mousemats?

    Having looked at those figures they are coming out a little higher than I would have expected although they are some very ink-intensive designs. I will have a chat with Sawgrass during the day and report back!

    Graeme

    I think those figures have been provided by sawgrass at some point, based on this info page

    http://www.sawgrassink.com/v.php?pg=734

    But if you can get clarification, that would be great
