I am going to go for the small of those Two Adkins mug presses as I want to be doing the 6oz and 10/11oz mugs - I doubt I will ever want to do the other sizes, the extra 6ox blanket for the adkins with the press is about £400 + VAT (you can usually get a discount if you call, wanting a package).

So, the adkins press and the Sub Ricoh will come at the price you quoted above - you just don't get the twiddly bits.

I know which way I would go if I were in your situation, knowing what I know now - it didnt do me any harm trying to save a few quid as I quickly learned what I needed if I wanted to do this properly.
The other thing to consider, you can always sell a branded press if you ever needed to - they hold their money.

Ok think I've got everything (just going to copy and post my notes)

Gloves * 2
£12 ebay

I use these in my workshop: Ear.

You can actually feel everything with these, there are these and a type with thicker - stickier rubber which are no good for what you want to use them for as everything sticks to them.


Found the numbers:

Good PU gloves = 4121

Bad Pu Gloves = 3121

I have the mug press you posted the link to from BMS (Printerowners) and after a couple of phone calls to get something minor sorted I can heartily recommend them. They will do full top to bottom coverage.
