As it says. As it is really rather more than the likes of the BMS ones has anybody used it, after all there appears to be a lot of struggling with getting things right with the other presses, film doesn't work, wondering temperatures, buckled covers, bubbles in print...etc etc.

So anybody tried these?

Is that price a type

It is rather expensive and the cost of the jigs, plus the blank and wrap means it cost about £7.50 to produce the cover. But.....do you get what you pay for?

Hi Jmugs

The problems are short lived with the BS one.

I have it here and although I agree it does tend to have a wandering temperature, I have no idea if that is the machine, the sensor or that they all do it. What I do know is that once the technique has been mastered then there are no problems.

I have looked at the more expensive machines and I am really not sure what it is that means they can justify the price.

Hi Social,
You have made my point there....how can they justify the price? It would appear nobody here uses one of those.

Wasn't somebody on here the manufacturer?

Its probably similar to buying an Adkins versus A.N Other.

If you are going to be using it occasionally of a weekend, perhaps for a couple of hours of a night, an Adkins is possibly overkill.

Likewise if you are going to be pushing out 10-20 phone covers a day, then the BMS one is great.

However if you have some sort of plan to take over the smart phone market and produce hundreds a day, a more expensive (and therefore presumably better built) one would probably be better suited.
