Hi, Just starting out in sublimation printing in the hope of expanding the range of services we supply to artists. Currently supply Art Cards and Giclee prints.
Looking to print onto mugs, coasters and photo slates. Have purchased basic kit including Flat Heatpress and Mug press with multiple inserts. Looking forward to getting going.

Hi John & welcome.
To get the most from this forum, spend a good while reading lots of old threads.
Often new members ask questions that have been asked a zillion times b4 .... and sometimes get given rough answers in return.

The main thing is, it's a steep learning curve, and if you buy cheap, you will probably buy twice, or just drop out in frustration.

Some suppliers offer great product & support, - at a cost, - which in my opinion makes them cheaper than buying S*** on ebay and spoiling lots trying to get it right.
happy subbing!

Hi Logobear,
Thanks for the welcome. Have spent most of today browsing your forums for an answer to a problem and have ended up posting a question in Graphics & Artwork.
Hopefully the equipment and initial blanks I have bought are of good quality (time will tell) and the company I used (longforte) were very helpful and informative.
Looking forward to getting going.

Welcome to the forum and have fun searching. There is a wealth on knowledge here. Just be aware but the supplier with "L" is a bit of a sore point on here.
Many thanks
