In short NO ;-)

Unbranded everything opens you up to a world of problems and there is a lot of crap there you do not need. If you want a mug press then £200-300 will get you a good one from a decent reputable supplier, otherwise decide exactly what you want and then I am sure someone will be able to help.

You could buy all the stuff in this "fantastic" deal for less money.

Epson workforce printer £70
Refillable carts £20
Ink/paper/mugs £50
Mug press £50

It would work, I use an epson and to be fair it's ok but i'm saving the money i'm making (not a lot) and will be buying a ricoh when funds allow.
I don't understand why you would need another printer unless you were going for an A3. your ricoh will print a lot faster than you can transfer your images.

I had a look at that set up and I wouldn't waste my effort. I could put together a good professional package with 72 mugs, but it would cost about £500 when I costed it out. If I were selling it on ebay I would slap a profit on that too.
