I see Sun Fly have a new range of presses for dog bowls etc. Looks very interesting and makes you start to think about other things these presses may with......Any UK dealers going to stock these do we know?

Yeah, I saw them but the thermoshrinkable in your oven will do a better job :-)

Plus, I did purchase a Sunfly heat press once... Never again!

Yes, the quality would be my main concern :-) Could do with a decent choice of larger bowls.

Will I ever get around to testing that thermoshrinkable!?!?!

In about 2.5 years by my calculation....

It took me three years to convince you to switch to an oven, which you eventually did (and was I right!). Given that you are about 6 months in to that I reckon another couple of years you will almost be ready to take the plunge...

Two things that come from that. Firstly, you can thank me in two years time and secondly I really do know everything LOL :tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue:


On a more serious note, I think the thermoshrinkable route is the way companies should be going. With that material you can pretty much sub anything that has a coating regardless of its size and shape. If you look at a coke can, I have managed to sub an image that bleeds top and bottom on that shape (including the bevel at the top and bottom). No heat press will EVER be able to do that. You have to have a decent weight sub paper (such as the Ink Express 120gsm) but if anyone can sub that shape to a saleable quality without the film I will eat my hat as it can not be done.

Hi SG. This thermoshrinkable .................. is that the bags sold by Bestsub in Poland, or can you buy rolls of the stuff? Not wanting you to give any secrets away though! :wink:

Hi Webtrekker...

Not a secret, plenty of info on here from me already :-) and yes it is the stuff sold by Best Sub. I am not aware of anywhere that you can buy rolls, but I have a feeling that will eventually come.
