Am I getting the printer models mixed up. The Ricoh A4 SG3110DN detailed above is shown as £285 plus VAT but searching on Amazon it shows it available new for £130, is this a different version to the sublimation one??, Sorry for being thick.
I did say in my post that the price includes the sublimation ink cartridges :-)

Welcome to the forum :-) Re your membership, when did you pay this? It's an automated subscription process that changes your title so I'm not sure why this hasn't changed. I will need to check the payment if you can let me know approx. date, many thanks :-)

socialgiraffe uses them - his view might be more independent than mine :). Yes the same element can be used.

Hello Laura, Thanks maybe i should have, i only posted here as i was looking at these mugs due to someone above saying they can print mugs for about 1 pound each... So my guess would be these mugs? http://www.printerowners.co.uk/special- ... on-mug.htm

Thanks for that BMS, Im going to post this in the relevant section so others can see and take note :)

I've used these and they work well, colour looks good and they wash well.

Hi Edwardsmedia

The mugs you refer to a rubbish and the worst mugs I have ever used. But I am only saying that because I don't want BMS to run out!!!! :wink:

I use these mugs all the time and they are sold throughout Europe as official merchandise. Never had one complaint about quality of mug, never had any returned and I do not get any failures. As drinking recepticles, they hold hot and cold water which can be mixed with various substances to create nice beverages.

To give a balanced view the other, more expensive, mugs will have a better coating and will probably reproduce images clearer with more accurate colours. But only good photographers and those with a good colour eye will notice the difference between them.

The main part of my business is mugs (although right now I seem to be twiddling my thumbs a lot!) and I have looked at all the suppliers across the UK. Forgetting the ebay rubbish (which really are awful), these mugs are the cheapest I have found in the UK.
