Hi Justin

You are right, but it is cheap.

Never bothered me as I drive crappy cars, but when the Roland rep came to install my versacamm (brag brag brag LOL!!!) we started talking about petrol. he drove a Mondeo. When he first got the car it drove superb but then he moved house and started filling up at Tesco. He said that the performance of the vehicle significantly dropped. He only worked it all out after writing down exactly when he filled up, the amount put in and the mileage he did etc etc.

it seems that the supermarket petrol is very much a lower grade fuel so I will not be filling up my Aston there :frown:
USING: Whatever it takes to get the job done...

One filled up the Bentley at Morrisons the other day & it's still running like a dream..........must admit the optional extra for filling it up has made a world of difference :wink:

I'll just sit back until someone asks what the optional extra is.

What is the optional extra Ian?

We have just drifted way off topic lol, But its fine i got the answer i needed. How ever i will now need an ICC profile, But i would need to print the charts on my pre-cut mug paper... If i use any other paper for the ICC and go back to this then my colours will be off again. Problem is the pre-cut mug paper is not A4... Ideas?

Maybe split the chart and print in sections. I could then press the chart on some sheeting and send in to who ever can offer me the best profile :)

Visi-Sub and SubliJetR are the same thing so you won't save anything by going for VisiSub - it's the same ink.

Hey. Well i have gone back for the Epson 1400 - So inks at the moment not needed, How ever after christmas i will look into getting a sawgrass licensed one and keep you in mind. The orca coated mugs do you have any pictures? These are actually a good price, I pay £40 per case and collect, We use 10oz Durham stye

Our expected order next month will be 3,000 to 5,000 on mugs how many cases do you have, And do you offer pallet delivery
