well...we just bought 36 10oz /orca mugs from subliblanks...get delivered today - never tried em before so be interesting to see what they like ;)
tad more expensive but....if they same quality as BMS ones, they will be fine ( only cheaper )
we always do full top/bottom coverage, so need decent mugs

coralgraph ones were fine print wise, but to many mugs that were pitted, and no reply from Henry forced us to look elsewhere for mugs

edit....might buy a box of 36 orca ones from signworld to try beside the subli ones

Question on the Orca mugs from Signzworld... When you "clunk" the mugs together, do you still get the solid chime that you would from the BMS mugs? I will probably sample them first myself, but hearing good things from them so far. 72 mugs for under 60 quid is a great deal!

We have tried both the 10oz Orca and the non-orca (slightly cheaper) and quite frankly there has been no difference.

Well it looks like CoralGraph have a good offer on "orca" mugs especially with the current DSF discount. 10oz Orca mug works out to 52p (ex vat and with free delivery)!!! See http://www.coralgraph.com/sublimation-m ... -mug-press

Superb pressing. Very impressed with your result. If you want to send us your artwork we would be more than happy to try on the following mugs we have in stock:
* signzworld 10oz orca
* signzworld 10oz double coated (not orca but perhaps are!)
* Xpres 10oz

Nice one, going to switch to the Orcas next week. I'm not making enough profit from BMS mugs.
