hi everyone
iam not looking to start a buissness becuase a dont have the finance or marketing skills. i would like to print on mugs plates. coasters mousemats and clocks as a hobby and just sell to members of a gundog club iam a member of. i would like some advice on buying the correct press i dont like the look of some of the cheap 5 in 1 advertised on e bay. i think i would like to buy a stand alone mug press with extra heat mats for diffrent size mugs. i assume you would use a fat t shirt press for coasters and mouse mats i have no idea how you would do a clock i cant afford the top of the range press but want to avoid the very bottom end iam i on the right track any advice would be most gratefull

A flat bed press will do coasters and mousemat as well as clocks. Have a browse of suppliers websites to see what's available and there are even business startup packages available for mugs as well as flat bed items.

You'll get all the support you'l need here in the forum :-)

Personally I also prefer separate presses rather than multi use but many members use the 5 in 1 etc. successfully.

A lot of the information you need is alraedy here so have a goof look around first :-)
