I used to have a printers beside me who could slice through a ream of paper like butter. But I'm at a loss who could supply cut down sheets without any damage.

Im still really interested in the black mug printing.
Both companies I have mentioned have been pretty darn good. I did have a bad batch from one sometime ago but it didn't affect the print so wasn't really bothered.I used to have a printers beside me who could slice through a ream of paper like butter.

My go to paper is from Ink Experts and they have purchased a new guillotine which is spot on in my opinion. Just make sure you ask them how they want notifications on what size to trim ;-)
I know you have impeccable standards Gooner (nothing wrong with that) but its got to be worth a punt on a 100 sheets just to test perhaps...

That gave me a good old belly laugh.Im still really interested in the black mug printing.
I will get back to you all once I have figured out something here...
(Balls, there goes the old suspense thing again...)

I’m using subli-light from InkExperts for mugs and it’s superb.
Just received a pack of A4 versa from them last week and I’m having an awful time with it on slate although it’s working on t-shirts ok-ish.
I guess I should cut a few sheets of that down to see if it performs as well as the subli-lite on mugs as my issues with it could be the press or substrate at the moment.
Anyone used versa?

I use it for mugs and fabrics and found it to be the best I've used. A big plus is it never curls - a problem I found with S-Race which then splashes ink all over the place.

Thanks, I’ll experiment a bit.
I know slate is notoriously bad and I’ve only pressed two so far so I am half convinced it’s all my fault.

I use versa on slates but find it to be spot on. This is using a vacuum oven if that helps.
For mugs I use the thicker paper (120 gsm I think). Again, this is for an oven so might be different.

If you want to do slates then grab an ST3042 vacuum oven. I do not do many as it is not my field, but every single one I print in this oven is spot on thanks to someone on here posting the time and temp.I know slate is notoriously bad and I’ve only pressed two so far so I am half convinced it’s all my fault.

I’m literally just starting out so have only basic gear. Mug press seems fine but the heat press was £100 on Amazon so is probably going to be “fun” to learn on!
Also bought cheap ink as I wasn’t sure if sublimation is for me. Now slightly hooked though and have a vinyl cutter on the way too.
All in all everything seems fine - knowing now that versa probably isn’t my issue is a huge help.
