    The North/South divide is strong..... unless you get the correct visa I am not sure you will get in ;-)
    I might actually do a last visit to P&P so never know who I might bump into there.

    Getting out and moving on..... mostly.

    It's got to that point where I've decided the time is right to move on. Might have a few things to sell so probably be around a bit longer but just want to say thanks to those that have kept this...

    Totally agree with this when dealing with some suppliers...... no one else has a problem a.k.a. not my problem. You learn which suppliers to take their claims of how incredible all their blanks are...

    We are set up for screen printed items and waterslide ceramic decals so have the high firing ovens which go past 700c. When we are doing a run and if there is space we can add faulty printed dyesub...

    It all depends on what space you have and items you are needing to print..... and with what level of accuracy. Easy to create a flexible workspace with some basic B&Q kitchen base/wall units and...

    Not wanting to disagree with some of the above but...... firm pressure all the way. The lighter the pressure the worse it will be. Light pressure doesn't ensure 100% contact between print and metal...

    I see. I know the mugs you mean. They had major problems for a while on their new supplier. Not their standard Production mug price then.

    When you say 50p I assume you have done some serious rounding down there? I usually have a spare pallet or 2 of production mugs if you are ever short. We have a monthly allocation so could even...

    The element wire within the heat blanket doesn't go to the edge but stops 5-10 mm from the edge either side. Use a straight sided mug with solid print all the way to the top and position for printing...

    The only plus side is that everyone is in the same boat. Passing on costs or at least a substantial chunk is the only way now. This will be going on for most of next year. Most of us have already...

    Do you get any burn marks on the edges of certain materials from laser cutting if printing first? I tried having metal and unisub board cut by laser years ago and that was problematic but mainly...

    They have got big problems right now with their mugs. Recent batches have been from a different manufacturer due to a large increase from their old supplier. Not sure how their standard 10oz is...

    You will have a far better advantage starting off than others with no printing experience. I have employed a few screen printers and all understood far better on what we are after and why/when things...

    If it works for you that way just keep tweaking until you are happy. We use several different presses and never have to change the way we do it and it is never longer than 60 seconds or 190c. It can...

    We print loads of .5 metal and actually use firm pressure. 190c for about 50 seconds with paper side down on press bed so heat platen goes onto back of metal. You can get the odd batch where the...
