Not sure - always used the natural ones (steel coloured) - they would look better in white and colours would stand out better, but with the abuse they take in a bar, I think the white coating would chip.

<t>I started using these a while back but stopped due to quality issues - they look great printed, but really are pretty crap. The metal used isn't strong enough and after a few uses the metal opener part wears or bends and they become unusable. No point in a personalised bottle opener if it doesn't ...

As long as the total adds up to the 2nd class amount for a large letter (£1.53 up to 250g) they'll go 2nd class automatically.
I used to do this using several different stamps to make up the amount when sending badges out and couldn't be bothered to wait at post office in queue.

I've only offered single sided print on these and it's normally text only - if I was to print 2 sided, I'd print both sides in one go, maybe turning the blade halfway through it's time and adding 10/20 more seconds to cover this.

I had some jigs laser cut and they worked OK - think it was 6 up on A4. They did warp but turn them round for the next press and it seemed to do the job. I also had to up the press time a little as there was a blotchy problem - this cured that.

<t>I've changed to managed payments, I don't like it as much as paypal - but it will become necessary if you want to keep trading on EBAY. <br/>
I also changed from daily payments to weekly, as it was easier to do my books that way and keep track on orders.<br/>
<br/>
I also had to put my prices up ...

Maybe a computer or lead fault rather than all 3 printers

If this happened on both blankets, I'd guess it must've been operating in Fahrenreit.
180f converted to C would be 82c - which explains why you could handle the mug without getting burned fingers - lol

<r>Yes, there is no reason to do anything apart from put in press and press the timer which is set to <COLOR color="#333333"><s>[COLOR=#333333]</s>167 temp for 170 seconds - comes out perfect every time. Mugs and paper from Xpres, inks are genuine Sawgrass through a Ricoh. Sounds like your press ...

Thanks for that - Its an old Coralgraph press but it doesn't have a make/model badge. I've seen that on ebay but wanted a like for like one, so it would be compatible. I've contacted Coralgraph but haven't had a responce.
