Blizzard Convection Oven Owners

[JMugs]

It is a shame you are not near Manchester, JMugs. I think we will have 2 ovens and about 200 wraps up for sale in the New Year.

It would be quite a trip!:biggrin:

Having just had some duff prints due to fading towards the handle I decided my adkins presses needed new blankets. BUGGER they are expensive!
I have a George Knight mug press which is a cracker. I suspect I would have heart attack if I needed a blanket for that.


Blizzard oven ordered. Wraps ordered.

This thread has been really useful in making the decision.

Cheers folks.

Wraps plus a liner.

Sweet spot for me appears to be 25 mins at 160 degrees.

I also found that when I was using Adkins mug presses I had to extend time with this set up / mugs.

If it changes as I use the oven more, I will edit this post.

Sweet spot for me appears to be 26 mins at 170 degrees has produced best results on these mugs. Blacker blacks and punchy colours

BUT

20 mins at 160 degrees produces a superior print with regard to colours and crisper outlines.

Nice update, what do you think the costs are?

[Justin]

Not wanting to hijack the thread but we have 2 ovens available with wraps if anyone wants them

[JMugs]

Nice update, what do you think the costs are?

The 5013 mugs are nearly 40% more expensive to purchase but offer saving in time in oven, less electric (160 degrees v 170 degrees), more mugs per hour, improved print quality, possibly fewer duff prints. Time will tell.

Hard call without geeking out over it in pure financial terms.
