    Not me sadly...

    Gearbox went on my car so am going to avoid P&P this year as I will only spend money I don’t have :-) :-) :-)

    TBH I was only there as I had a job for one of my clients to fit in Birmingham so as I was getting paid for the day and also my fuel I killed two birds with one stone.
    Nothing jumped out at me but I did Xpres were showing off the new industrial mug press/oven.

    About £30k I think. If one does high volume then in reality it would allow one person to do the work of 2-3 people so could equal costs out over time. Only issue is that if it needs an engineer call-out how long that takes.

    I reckon it would still be a 2 person job to keep up. Cutting and taping transfers then unloading etc is quite a pace for 15 heads. 30k + vat is over the top.

    I personally do not understand that machine as I think it has got its market wrong...

    If you were in the market of needing to print 250 mugs an hour then it would be a fair guess that an oven would be a far superior way of printing, I would also take a stab that it would be far cheaper as the running costs on this machine would be huge. Plus the fact that, at the rate this prints, the blankets would need replacing near on every two weeks.

    It would need a minimum of two people (possibly three for 250 an hour) just says to me that the machine simply does not add up.

    Something sub 10 grand, fully automated at 80 (ish) an hour might be of interest I suppose. But blankets would have to have come ALONG way for me to switch back.
