Re: Melted Adjustment Screw on Mug Press

<r>Hello everyone,<br/>
<br/>
I wonder if you can help. My Genie mug press has developed a melted adjustment screw as when the mug press is closed the plastic screw is touching the hot metal blanket. It looks to me like its being caused by the fact that when I move the handle to close the press, the ...

Re: Printing Aluminium Cuffs

<t>Hello<br/>
<br/>
I'm looking to design some aluminium cuff bracelets and have bought it some anodised aluminium to try out some ideas on. Tonight I tried a small design, just some black text on a small square on my heat press using a design printed onto Trupix paper using my Ricoh printer. For a ...

Re: SG3110DN Printer Ink needs replaced and I've only printed about 30 mugs

Hi - I got your message in my email about your ink but it doesn't seem to be showing up on this thread. Do you sell this ink with cleaning agents in it?
