Hi there, and thanks for any advice or comments given. Much appreciated.

About 15 years ago I came across Dye Sublimation in Canada - Mainly Tiles and Murals on a large scale. It made a huge impression on me. I then came back to the UK and looked further into it. Thus I spent and bought a lot of Dye Sub Equipment. Including a printer, a very expensive 18" press, a mug press and a few boxes of Mugs and Blanks.

However, life was a bit up and own at that time, so I stored the all this "stuff" in my daughters loft. Now, 15+ years later my daughter has just moved and I'm in a more settled life. :) So now I have all the DyeSub bits and pieces here. I did learn quite a lot about DyeSub all them years ago so if I decided to get "up and running" I'm sure I could do that. I'm also semi retired now at age 65 so have time on my hands.

Problem is, do I want to spend time re-inventing this business... or do I sell everything I have? Not sure what to do, so thought I'd ask here first?

I can take pictures of what I have and post on here, if that's possible and maybe get some of your views and, opinions? I'm guessing, just guessing the inks for the R1800 might be an issue? Also, the Press and Mug Press, were de-facto 15+ years ago, but are they any use now with technology the way it is?

It's all new stuff and never been used. I guess a few pics on here of what I have might help?

Any comments, or suggestions would be much appreciated...

Thanks....

Printer and ink likely only good to throw away (assuming the printer is used and has ink in it) If it's still new and unused, it should be OK, but will need new ink.
The presses should be fine - not much has really changed with presses.
