Coralgraph ebay shop press

[logodigitizing]

Hi
Has anyone ever bought or used a press from coralgraph?
I've seen this today

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/40-x-50-cm-Garmen ... 5640388664 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/40-x-50-cm-Garment-Heat-Press-Ce-Certified-New-Model-/370444633700?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5640388664)

I am in the market for a heatpress for home use(i use an adkins press in work) so I need a reliable machine I can use to startup with
I am also looking for a mug press to startup with so any advice on these is greatly appreciated.
many thanks

if i was in the market to buy another heat press i would go for a swing away heat press

yes me too ideally, I use one in work, but to get me started I need a reasonably priced machine in which I can build up funds to purchase better machine.. :)

Hi,

I'd go for something like this at BMS to be honest.

http://www.printerowners.co.uk/presses- ... -press.htm (http://www.printerowners.co.uk/presses-and-cutters/513/8-in-1-combination-heat-press.htm)

I use one of these to do items like T-shirts etc & it is really good for the price.

Ian :D

[NASH]

WOW that`s well worth the money, reason being is that BSM is a trusted supplier

[snjokaggl]

I use the same press as Ian, and I must say it's great!
I can even do full bleed mugs with the mug attachment, just tried it today and it's perfect.
It's a great starter press because of all the attachments you can use; caps, mugs, latte mugs, and normal plate for shirts and jigsaws etc.

hi
thanks for all the replies, it's good to hear from people who are actually using the presses.
@ Ian/Isaak may I ask how long you've had your press? and how reliable it is please?

At first glance they look like the 'ebay' presses seeing as people on here use and trust them, I presume they're better quality. I will get in touch with BMS for some more details and tech info.

:)

Hi,

I've been using my press now for about 3 years. I do use a seperate mug press though as this is easier for me as I do mainly mugs.

Well worth the money me thinks. ;)

Ian :D

Mug attachment is great! i love it too! :) only one problem with my is if I want to do 10oz mugs I need to use rubber sheet around the mug. but this is not a problem.

regards to cap attachment i must sya is useless :) shape is to wide for hats so is verry tricky to align them correctly.

I got my press for about 3-4years and is fine. only thing i changed is heat blanket in mug attachment as this is what i use most ;)

regards to the quality I am sure they are this same :) all from this same factory in china.

mcdodd, I just had mine for a few days so I can't vouche for the reliability yet.
But I'm glad to hear from Paul that his press has lasted this long. :D
Too bad to hear about the cap attachment as I haven't tried it yet, but it's more than enough for me right now.

[Paul]

well... to fair I must say cap attachment was great for winter hats though :) printed with flock :)

[Ian M]

Hi all again.

One tip that I was given was never to use the presses for more than one hour at a time. I was told to let them stand switched off for at least 15 minutes before starting again. I've been doing this & never had a problem & as I said been using mine now for coming up to 3 years.

Ian :D

[snjokaggl]

Thanks for the tip Paul! Winter hats come in handy for where I'm from.
I was also given this tip about shutting the press off if it's been working for more than one hour, but then again if I have been pressing for an hour straight it's time to take a brake anyway and cool off :)

[Ian M]

Hi Isak,

I couldn't agree with you more about taking a break after a hour but, I'm usually getting the next batch ready to press.

Our winter hats are already in use here in the north of the UK :lol:

How does an Icelandic cool off? :lol: I thought they already were cool ;)

Ian :D

[snjokaggl]

We roll around naked in the snow :lol:
Until the neighbours calls the cops at least.

But you're right, most of us are cool ;) except our politicians and those greedy banksters.

Hi Paul,
Which winter hats are you using? and what time do you use?

Tried a knitted one at one time and it went super floppy, same as if you ironed anything acrylic.

Thanks

I used those: http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/Caps+and+H ... th+Turn-up (http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/Caps+and+Hats/Sharon+Lee+Thinsulate+Bronx+Hat+with+Turn-up)
I print with white flock on them. Looks verry good.

hi Paul
thanks for your reply, information like this helps a lot.
following on from my earlier post, I've also seen this..

http://www.victorydesign.co.uk/products ... /epswingsm (http://www.victorydesign.co.uk/products/name/easipress-new-heatpress-swing-head-15-15/product_id/epswingsm)

although I am tempted by the 8 in 1 as a start up because of the mug press.. would I be better getting a dedicated mug press tho?..
sorry for all questions.. I just don't want to shell out and get the wrong equipment..even tho I use it during the day!! lol..

[Paul]

in my opinion if you going to make odd mugs,caps,plates etc then 8in1 is fine. but if you going to do lot of this stuff i would buy dedicated press as I am sure you dont want to swap attachment all day long.

[logodigitizing]

thanks Paul, I'll be mainly producing t shirts/polos/sweats/hi-viz etc, varey rarely caps and if I can get the work, mugs..my reason asking about mugs is that a friend of mine is getting married next year..no not the royals..lol..but a week before them, I am going to design some mugs in the style of the Royal Family ones and get them printed up..was hoping to do it myself :)

if anyone here wants to quote me on about 60 mugs please pm me :)

[accdave]

The presses that Victory sell are also the same ones Lovecut sell at nearly half the price of Victory. Question is, do you want to save a fortune and risk possible bad service ?

[Paul]

Buy 8in1 and do it youself ;) cheaper and great way to learn!

I would also then need a printer with sub inks and sub paper..it may outway the cost of getting them outsourced.

:)

[Paul]

you can have full printing UNSUPORTED set up for £150 :P So if you make 60 mugs youself for £4 each. then you can make £240 :) now go and find some cheap mug press ;) few more orders like that and you can get descent set up :)

who offers £150 setup?.. and then sub ink prices?.. :)

[Paul]

this is with ink :D lol
but as I said... is not supported set up but you can have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=55&t=1619 (http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=1619)

I am sure it is good start up or odd mug printing gear :)
