Press or Oven

[Dave271069]

I knew I wouldn't waste my money.
Its arriving tomorrow so will do a few mugs and give you a review on my £55 oven from the transfer press.

I paid £30 for mine.

I have a stack of wraps here, (16 I think) they were in a job lot of stuff I bought, £1 each plus postage, never used them. They aren't new and they came from somebody who had been doing mugs all day every day.

Let me know if they are any use to you.

Janners.

oh goodnes, I could do with some of them...... I only have the 1

I keep thinking we should try the oven route - my parents replaced their oven recently, so have the old one in the garage - could get a lot of mugs in a big proper oven, if we had the wraps!
Doing a few hundred mugs in presses can be tedious, but I guess putting the wraps on/off the mugs would be equally so, but you get to load up the oven with a lot of mugs at a time.

hmmm

I am the same, although I am thinking that a combination of both might work. I have been looking at the Serigraph Mug oven for a while and am thinking that this will print 20 mugs in 15-17 minutes. So in theory I load that up and while it is cooking away I can get on with others using the heat presses. Although if the mug oven did print 20 mugs in 15-17 that is almost 80 an hour on its own (assuming two trays and two sets of wraps). Its a very big IF though.

If you want some just PM me

I will start another thread later with a picture.

The chap I got them off had a commercial bakers oven, I think he did 60 to a time. He used an electric screwdriver for putting them on and off. One lot in the oven, one lot being prepped.
The others (he had hundreds of wraps) he sold with the oven.

Picture later iin the for sale section.

[elliemillhill]

Thanks, I will....

Will have a chat with the wife, and keep an eye on the sale section.
Not sure where we'd put an oven, especially as I don't think there's a spare space on the fuse board for an oven to be wired in.
