If any one is looking for a mug oven take a look at the Transfer Press..oven and four wraps at £149.00 plus vat.
I paid £275.00 for mine The job I bought it for paid for it with a nice profit too but gosh what a difference.

If you already have the wraps it's only about £50. Having said that it is only a normal oven.

Do they let you pay for orders over the internet yet or are they still living in the Dark Ages?

Their oven looks exactly like the one I bought for £49.99 from JML (£59.99 these days - that includes VAT so it's a bit cheaper than the TP's VAT-inclusive price of £63.75). JML also do a stand-off ring for £12.99 (was £9.99 when I bought mine).

I mention it because my JML oven doesn't seem to do mugs as quickly as everyone else says theirs does them. Works well, but you have to adapt your time/temp to suit.

It took us a lot of time adapting with our oven with a lot of wasted mugs.

Not sure re the payment over the internet tho

I used to find it took about 20 mins to cook 4 mugs, found a twin head press quicker overall.

This takes 12 mins so not bad, my current Jarin single mug press is becoming a pain. I constantly have to keep turning it during its cooking time. It's as tho the wrap isn,y as good as it once was although it's not had a huge amount of use. I have contacted Europa/Jarin equipment but with no reply so I don't know if they are still trading.

Can't be the JML one, then. Which wraps do you use and at what temperature?

No its an Elitech, we have it set at about 200, it may be a little less as it's difficult to tell precisely with the type of knob.

It's possible that the Elitech and JML are different wattages.

I think the dial on mine is a bit imprecise, too. When I'm doing colour-change mugs, I have to keep the temperature right down to stop the coating from turning yellow. Very impractical for doing too many, but I'm managing to make do until I sort out a better mug press.

During our testing process we managed to scorch quite a few but all seems ok now, I forgot to mention the wraps are from subli supplies.

For a while we could not get rid of an imprintfrom the wrap on the coating of the mug after pressing but it gradually seems to be improving so perhaps it's just a 'new' thing.

I had the same problem with those wraps and the imprint. Fortunately, most of my mugs tend to be the 10oz variety so I put an extra wrap of 1.5mm silicon rubber (from Listawood/BMS) between the mug and the wrap to give a smooth wrap. That probably accounts for a little bit of the longer pressing time.
