Re: Is this a good start up package for sublimation?

Hello.
Well, I've been reading up on sublimation for a while.
The more i read, the more i'm confused!

I've looked at all sorts of products of what is required, then found a cheap start up.

I'm just concerned that without spending big bucks i wont be able to produce good quality cases.

Appreciate any help and advice.

Well a ricoh is good, usualy about £330 ish with inks, not sure about the press it looks like a drawer bottom, not sure why you need a jig (thought that was for 3d)

Been speaking to this company for a while since I met them at Printwear and Promotion this year, they seem to be offering quite a good selection of items and were willing to tailor a package to suit my needs. Its worth asking anyway in case you want something else added to the package.

The package seems to be a mixture of hardware that doesn't go together to be honest. A flat bed press doesn't need pucks and cooling jigs for iPhones unless their iPhone covers are unique in some way. I think these parts are unnecessary expenses. iPhone covers are available from multiple suppliers and don't need pucks (normally). Press is okay - no bigger than an A4 sheet. I think you can get a similar package from various sources a couple of hundred cheaper as those prices are subject to VAT as well.

I went on the stand of a company called Merlin Transfers who had some good deals and I contacted them the other day about buying a Ricoh Printer and they said they could connect up with my computer online and set up the profiles for me. That, to me, is worth quite a bit. Seem like a small but nice company to deal with. I have NO connections with them. Based in Southend On Sea.
