First time I've seen one in colour. At £1150 for the start-up package, it's probably the last time I'll see one too... :o

I noticed the UV box is £595+vat, I'm sure it used to be nearer £300....uhm

I think there are cheaper ways to do it.

Doesn't the exposure to UV light simply cure the adhesive? If so, it's a bl***y rip off!

I use Xpres quite a bit and also Victory BUT, some of these traders risk alienating themselves with such exploitation.

I received a marketing email from Victory yesterday which demonstrates they're moving into many of our markets - heat pressed clothing etc.

This is what I thought. You can buy the adhesives and papers seperate so surely all the box is doing is curing the glue......I agree at this price it's crazy. I'll find alternatives!

I mean't that Xpres sell them on their site. Not found UK suppliers yet but you can get them from China for import.
