Hi all, new to this forum and really looking for some advice! I'm after a heat press, mug press and printer - we're a small photographic start up and we cover a lot of events and print photos on site (we use DNP printers and cover equestrian, dog shows and a few big corporate events) - basically I want to look at offering customers a bit more choice so if they don't want a photo they have some alternatives to choose from. So mugs, aluminium prints, coaster sets, that sort of thing. I've looked at a few bundles:
Package from Novachrome which is £677 and includes A4 press, single element mug press, Richoh SG400 and Sawgrass inks. I think their press is made in the UK. http://www.novachrome.co.uk/starter-...ter-kit-3.html
Package from Sublimugs which is £495 and includes A4 press, mug press with three elements, plate press, Richoh SG3110 with Sublimugs ink and some freebies. Assume it's a Chinese press for that price. http://shop.sublimugs.com/sublimugs-...lat-press.html
Or an Adkins Studio Versa press with a couple of mug elements and an SG3110 which works out about £800 from Xpres.
I did consider an A3 package but to be honest I don't think I can justify the cost despite the lower cost per print given we're not sure about how much volume we'll do.
The main thing for us is the print quality which I can't compromise on. Can anyone advise which would be the best option please? We're probably talking about less than 100 mugs a year and around 50-75 A4 aluminium prints I reckon.
