Does the image scratch off? I am fed up of false claims, can this system do mugs and the image is strong and long lasting?

Yes, we use a chemical to fuse the graphic in the mug, which makes it dish washer proof and microwave proof, i have cups in my kitchen that have lasted 7 years from my printing, use them for coffee everyday, before i sold uprint as a business concept i ran a company called Nic Of Time which i used my technology that i created to print for promotional and non-promotional companies. I have printed well over half million mugs in my 20 years of printing. I have had No complaints about graphics scratching off...


Sounds interesting. Only available from Uprint though - http://www.uprintsa.co.za/

Anyone know of this product, or had any experiences with their kit?

So, the website is...useful? No, that's not the right word...shady? More like it!

Following the link to say "I want" - it takes you to a page where it asks you to become a partner. Where you can make 90-100% commission on each sale.

Then the items that are shown to be for sale show no prices...you have to call for a price? (Including for a compressor spray gun that looks like a 99p China special from ebay).

I vaguely remember watching this video quite a while ago (that's YouTube recommended videos for ya...) The conclusion I came was "BS...next video!"

Hasn't changed much. Even if he does have a UK Partner (Really? Soo...who is it? How do we get in touch?)

...I'm voting dodgy!

Just had a read of the above link...

"...organic compounds so there is no VOC's involved..." Err...last I knew, VOC stood for Volatile ORGANIC COMPOUNDS...

Oil is an organic compound - and volatile (some of the compounds more so than others). Talking of oil, I should probably go do some work!

I think that this is the stuff sold by YES in this country.

I have sampled some of the stuff and its utter rubbish, although this seems to have more processes than the stuff I used.

As I have had dealings with them in the past all I can say is that this is very unlikely to work. It has been around for years and yet it is not well known will tell you a lot about it. Think of it in a similar vein to Sun Angel or Ghost White...
