Hello all...
I have been reading up on dye sub printing as I would really like to start to do a few things in my spare time after work etc.. I have quickly realised that there is a mass of infomation, styles, techniques etc etc out there...! Therefore, if I can be so bold to ask a few 'shortcut' questions - any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mugs -
Is it possible to get my hands on a mug press and starter kit for less than £100 - it can even be a good second hander - or would you suggest new is best? also, would equipment would I need and what cost should I expect? Can I use my Epson dx3850 to print the images also?
Mousemats -
Again do I need any special equipment here or can i use my epson printer on special paper - can the images be ironed on or do I need a heat press? Perhaps it is possible to buy a combined press?
Anything else - as you can guess I'm looking to do this fairly ecomonically at first, maybe trying to sell the odd item to family, friends, perhaps ebay - and then if I can find something thats sells well and makes a good return, then perhaps expand... any help gratefully accepted!!!!
Many thanks!
