Hi,

I have a very small home business (small as in makes approx. £100 per year profit so I do it for the love! :biggrin:) I would really love to start adding personalised Mugs to my portfolio but need some advice.

I have been looking at cheap Mug Press machines on ebay and an Epson printer starter kit. After some advice from Justin (via my husband :wink:), it wasn't the best set up or best company to buy from. I still think for me, being a home crafty business, a mug press is the way forward but I would appreciate any advice offered.

I have found this http://www.listawoodtradesupplies.com/i ... TAR&pgnum= but wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts. Obviously budget is tight.

Thanks in advance!

Yes I would say that is a good package .You can get the model before the SG400 called the SG3110DN via the package from BMS which is £125 cheaper it seems (look further down their description):

Second the Listawood package, £10 for Premium Membership would get you 10% off everything on that website except printers/inks.

We're also just about to add another discount to the Premium Members list for Ink Express who offer a great range of printers and inks. They're giving 10% off inks & papers.

Good going Justin. Does that Ink Express include the printer package as well? Credit card at the ready :-)

We're hoping for a £10 discount on packages, 10% off all inks and papers.

Sorry, I edited my last post as it wasn't clear.

Thank you Lisa. Would the 2.5% apply to the Startup Mug press package as it says 'on all orders placed online'?
