Personally I think you could put better together yourself for the money. It doesn't mention how much ink is left and there's indication that the mug press needs a new blanket. There's a fair bit of stock with it which is worth something but ask yourself which items you'd immediately be able to sell from this and is it the type of stuff you'll want to sell/stock?

The George Knight Heat press is ok, small platen area and I wouldn't recommend for heavier use.

i would say no :/ as justin said. you can get better for money. as u just starting up u dont need all that stock. all you need now is some blanks to practice now so u can learn. u can pick up mug press for about 150 pounds. CR for about 120.

hi thanks guys for your advice, greatly appreciated. can you help with what you suggested then, which mug press for £150? what is CR for £120 - is that craft robo? if so where do you suggest to get for that price as ive seen it for £234.

you can get your ciss with ink from Martin. It will cost you much less then epson 1400.

Craft Robo I bought my on ebay for £140. this is craft robo 2. fantastic for cuting vinyl for tshirts cups etc up to A4.
again. have a look on ebay ;) cat go wrong with this machine.

regards to canvas printing you can get another A3 printer and print those canvases with normal ink. much cheaper :)

Nobody thought it was a good price first time round, it's been relisted.

I have a CR 200 due to go on ebay, you can have it for £95 + carriage. Might not have the sharpest blade in the world but does work and would keep going for a while before having to buy a new one. I have 2 CR300's so as a backup machine it's gathering dust :D

Thanks guys. Didnt realise it was relisted only just found it on there yesterday.

I have my eye on a craft robo on ebay so will leave the CR200 for the min as want to see how much it goes for/whether I win it.

Thanks Paul for the details hadnt seen the B1100 will have a look at it.

My advice would be to get the B1100 as a package and not source elsewhere seperately, makes future support a whole lot easier :-)

I'll leave mine while tomorrow before putting it on. Personally I think £16 carriage is a rip off. at least you know not go above £95 :D . Carriage should be no more than a tenner for courier serve.
