Mug press shape types

Hi All,
I am in the market for a mug press. The thing is I'm not a fan of "builders" mugs and prefer something with a bit of a curve. not just a latte shape but any shape that isnt a 10oz mug shape.

I was wondering if anyone knew what machine might take odd shapes like steins and latte mugs and other types please?

I'll be looking to buy previously owned as I don't want to spend a fortune on a new press only to discover what I want to try to do, doesn’t work and im not looking to press in high volume but I would readdress that last statement should things work out.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice/guidance

Tony

Latte mugs just use a "Latte Mug Press" and Steins are just a normal mug press but I used to put a piece of silicon cut the right size to allow for better pressure. Or use an oven and the appropriate wraps.

This link will give you ideas of new prices so you can work from there as to used values.

So all of these shapes are printable, presuming they have the correct coating?

Anything involving a curved surface would be a challenge. So straight and tapered sides do-able. Curved profiles would need somebody else to chip in.
