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...

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!

yep! you can do your own exposure unit

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!

Justin

where do you get the paper and adhesives please J?

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

A4 Jet Film - £25 for 50 sheets
Glues - 250g for £15
