I watched the video, and was interested to see that you could fit 4 mugs in here at a time, but then you could do that with a small halogen type oven, so what is the advantage of this machine - does the vacuum function get used at all for standard mug printing?

As far as I can see with my machine, the vacuum is not used for mugs.

I would certainly be interested in a group buy.

still cant get a sodding price from her...she says price not sure yet......
the price you gave justin, and i seen it for myself on aliba, seems really, really cheap for sub machine....half price of the old red ones .....something not right there...
they build newer, better model, and charge half the price ????

it is not a better model (IMHO) BigJ, the older model as sold by BMS which is what I have can do 6 phone covers or 12 mugs at a time.
I might be interested on a group buy.
Don't forget that as well as the shipping (which would be considerably cheaper by sea

) you will also have import duty.

.....................
they still sell the one martin has......but she kept saying that one will go through about 2/3 membranes in a yr.. ?? true ?
yeh, they(membranes) are cheap to buy in, so not to much of a bother......and parts are ready available as well....
so i dunno......we are looking for one.....but would like price from this supplier from factory to our door
shipping for the big red one that bms sells is $245...dollars, plus import and vat, so if this one is lighter, it must be
cheaper to ship

...and thats just a single one

Who are you speaking to? I've had a few emails back and forth, communication not the easiest but hopefully getting there.

BigJ obviously does not have that cuddly bear charm Justin has
