I can't get my head around PSE13 and it not allowing you to print the same image more than once?????
Just copy your template then open a new page in a4 size then paste it will show in the middle of page,then drag to top or bottom of page,then paste again and drag to the opposite end of page,the paste again and you then have three on a page,close the original template or your printer will try to print that first.
I tried to get one to review on the forum but supplier failed to respond. From what I hear results aren't great I'm afraid. Maybe this is something that will get improved over the years. Surely if the pressure is correct the only other factor for these presses not working well would be the blanket quality?

I was just watching a video by Dye Sublimation Supplies on Youtube, and they seem to get good results (although, they're not going right to the edge of the mug). What would be a good alternative for a budget press? (need to buy a new printer too so haven't got a lot of money to spare)
Paul recently reviewed the cheapest on eBay at about £40. Whilst initial results were good the concern is over long term use. Listawood sell the Genie which gets good results but you might not feel this is 'budget' until you look at Adkins, DK etc.

Hi Justin, any thoughts on the Galaxy Mug Press Pro?
Not something I've tried although I hear it may just be a standard Chinese press. I only use Adkins Studio, you can sometimes pick them up second hand.
I'd buy a pneumatic press to review but I'm spending heavy on new equipment right now.
After a lot of research, I decided to give the Galaxy Mug Press Pro a, so have ordered one of those. I looked into your comment Justin, and apparently there's two presses that Galaxy offer. A cheap one for about £100-£115, and a higher quality one for £240, so it's the £240 I've gone for.
I've also asked the reseller that I bought my current MP160 off if they will take it back and give me a credit towards a pneumatic one so I can trial it (If they agree, I'd be glad to loan it to you to perform an independent review).
After a few months and buying a couple more of these (sub £100 each, why not!)
2 of the 3 i bought are great. 1 went haywire and I have since had a replacement for that one. Super quick and easy for mugs that ARE NOT full coverage.
You will need a digital laser thermometer as they can be wildly inaccurate. One I set to 150C was actually at 205C, browning was an issue. You should have a thermometer anyway!
