    had one and didn't like it.
    + 4 mugs at once
    + print closer to the nadle
    + cheap to replace if broken

    - longer cooking time regardless if one mug or four
    - hot as hell when taking them out and cooling longer
    - expensive wraps

    probably is only me but i found mug press working better for me :)

    Ditto for me, didnt like it. I got 5 in mine at once. You also need a duplicate set of wraps ´cause you need them fo the next set going in.

    If you are going to be buying an oven and 4 wraps then you have enough money to buy a mug press instead. I think that if you just wanted to make the odd mug and already had a suitable oven then buying a single or a couple of mug wraps could be a cheaper way to go. Obviously if you could get a big enough oven and loads of mug wraps then it might be quicker than a mug press on larger orders. I only have wraps for odd items such as cat and dog bowls where you do not really have any other choice.

    In use an oven - I prefer to print as close to the handle as possible, and I print in batches so never have a problem filling the oven. It does take longer, but you can go off and do other things while it does its stuff. One piece of advice - get a good pair of heat resistant gloves!

    There was a person on here, a lady I think, who used a JML Oven but didn't use wraps at all, just tape.
    Is that truly possible?
    regards, tony

    Used small ovens in the past, JML etc. not that keen. Running 2 or 3 separate mug presses a lot easier!

    I suspect Goldrapt it is possible but then I think you would use a lot of tape.

    Personally I do not use ovens as they take too long when you are doing a run of 500. However this thread got me thinking about purchasing one and seeing if printing on the handle would be possible. I think in theory yes and it would be nice if someone with an oven could give it a go.

    I use one and have a mug press, I found the mug oven good, have used one for over two years, happy with the way it performed, just had to be careful of burnt fingers. I use when I have a order that needs consistently to be the same in colour. Heats my kitchen lovely, I cannot fault it.
