  2. SG400 on it's last legs, what to use now?

    My trusty SG400 has a persistent print head blockage which I'm hoping to fix but it's made me think I need a back up. I have an SG500 which is OK for some products but I am reproducing colour...

    Thanks for the offer. It sounds like the opening mechanism would definitely rule that one out. If we had to tape 50+ coasters each time it would use up any time saving in using the bigger press. ...
  4. Advice on large format heat press - Sefa Slide 1285 or the Adkins Omega 750 v2?

    We need to move up to a larger format heat press and are considering the Sefa Slide 1285 or the Adkins Omega 750 v.2

    The Sefa is twice the price of the Adkins with only slightly larger usable...

    Thank you. The thing with this delivery is that we ordered back in Nov and it's been pushed back several times so I've got little faith in the end of May. Not the fault of Xpres at all, they have...
  6. Thanks, I’ve actually just ordered some wraps to...

    Thanks, I’ve actually just ordered some wraps to try. It might be the best way forward. Do you use a specific mug oven or just a normal oven?

    I’ll do a search on here - bound to be lots of posts...
  7. Adkins Twin mug presses and blankets - out of stock everywhere?

    We're processing hundreds of mugs a week in our Adkins twin presses. Our mug blankets are well past 1000 runs each and need replacing but we can't find the blankets in stock anywhere! If anyone knows...
  8. Sublimation Paper vs Plain Paper - surprising result!

    So I heard that you could use plain paper rather than sublimation paper but I didn't believe it. We just tested it ourselves and this is trupix paper on the left and cheap xerox paper on the right. ...

    Don't suppose you have a copy of the sawgrass powerdriver for this? It's no longer available through sawgrass as far as I know.
    If you do I'd be interested in this printer.
    Cheers

    I did think about ovens tbh but decided to stick with what I knew - I've never seen or used a mug oven!

    200oC for 140sec I think, off the top of my head. After the press has been on for a while we sometimes turn it down to 190 for 130sec. We've tried lower temps /longer times but find this works...

    I'm so happy with my twin adkins, I bought another one! We can easily fire through 300 mugs in a day - single operator with breaks for packing up and clearing space etc. I do have a weird issue...

    Thank you! I'd guestimated about 50p so sounds ok. That xpres calc assumes you know ink volumes per job - I have no idea!

    Cost of printing

    Hi All

    I've been looking for that Sawgrass ink calculator online but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know where I might find something similar or know approx ink costs for a placemat/ A4...

    Just as an update in case it helps anyone else - i found that using the settings above didn't fix the problem for all my mug designs and so after playing about some more I'm now using:

    Thanks for your replies and advice everyone. Fixed the problem today after burning though about 40 mugs - it was time!

    I'm preheating the bases and then took the cooking time right down to 140...
  17. New Adkins Twin Mug Press Problems - Help Please!!

    Hi all, I've just bought a new Adkins twin mug press from Xpress and have been testing it out today.

    I'm getting brown (overheated looking) vertical lines on the transfer paper after pressing...

    Wanted Adkins Mug Presses

    Hi, I'm looking for two or three Adkins mug presses. Can arrange collection by courier if preferred.
    Would also consider new model of the Galaxy Pro (the version that counts down once mug is up to...

    I can't stand pin holes - might not be a problem for many but a white dot in the middle of full wrap artwork is a disaster. Xpres it is then :)

    We're in Grangemouth - feel your pain with Parcelfarce! Sounds like Xpres is the way to go. We used to use the BMS ones when we were retailing them at a tenner each but now mainly wholesale for a...

    Thanks, that's what I was thinking too. I quite fancy the adkins but they are pricey. I've always used a BMS one which has been great so far so might go for a couple more of them. Just worried...

    Thanks for the replies. I think the water dunking is the reason for the quality problems we are having with our current mugs - they are crazing in the insides and getting returned by our customers...
  24. single presses or multi-presses for pressing 300 mugs?

    We will soon need to regularly press 2-300 mugs /week and would like to clear it all using one person in a single day. Do you think I'd be better off getting a few single mug presses eg more of the...

    The perfect mug....

    Hello

    We are reverting back to pressing our own mugs after having big quality issues with the ones made for us. I've narrowed the mug blanks down to these:
