I'd love to see the mug going through the printer for this to happen :)
welcome to the forum by the way :-)

Love to see one of those in action.

A link to the printer in question would be good.

Welcome to the forum Dan. I've heard that these machines exist at great expense but I'm yet to see one.l

I saw one in operation on a youtube video in some Chinese factory, the mug sits on a rotating arm, and oscillates while printed from a fixed head - impressive looking machine.

hi.ive not actually seen one just someone in the printing industry said their was one.probabley a chinese mismatch that wud last one print lol

ive just started with a small heat press .ive had two different batches of paper and a crap epson bodged printer.one papers image is better than anothers.any suggestions on which is the best paper to ask for

thanks

dan

just looked at that one.if u read the feedback i guess the printers rubbish..if u notice especially the iphone cover its already printed when it goes thru lol.
at 1500 quid it wud need to do a lot more.as it looks u still have to load it yourself .cant see the advantage .doesnt look like the quality is better than sub .stick to my dodgy epson boged printer and dodgy sub paper off ebay lol

Are we just talking spot colour screen prints or full colour. Direct rotary printers are common but never seen a full colour option. Did see an incredible auto screenprint machine from Scandinavia a while back. Only 60k.

Trupix or texprint are good papers and also i can recommend the xpres paper which was recommended to me on this forum. I use this at the moment and cant fault it.

Purchased from bms if im allowed to say.
