Hi all,

Thought I would re-introduce myself, I was on these forums back in 2011 I think when I was into mug printing game etc I gave it up due to work commitments, now I work on a 4 on 4 off basis I think this will give me the time to pursue this further with some real intent.... after taking a few years out, 2 new jobs and 2 kids later I am back to try my hand at the sublimation game. I have recently turned 30 (feel like 60 though) and have had enough of working for companies... I want to work for myself and answer to nobody (including the Mrs haha)

I will be starting my research all over again like I have never done it before... As I assume some things have changed... I look forward to speaking to you guys and picking your brains on my journey

I am yet to purchase any equipment yet, till I find out what is being used now a days. please feel free to leave suggestions below, and if you do remember me please say "Hi"

Regards

Anthony

Welcome back. We have only been on here for 18 months but Justin does superb job. Trade prices going up all the time but thanks to Justin premium members get discounts at quite a few suppliers. As a tip then we stick to Sawgrass ink and their new printers and not had a single fault issue yet. Olly

Hi,

When I was last doing this, I bought a package from BMS limited I had the Mug Press and Ricoh Printer which was great, easy to use etc... I then told the setup to someone on here (I don't rmember who)

Before I launch into things, I need to find some idea on where I want to go with this i.e my target market etc... as I assume ebay etc is still hammered with sellers.

Which printer would you suggest getting?

Anthony

I'm sure you will get other answers but the new Ricoh (now actually badged as Sawgrass SG400) is one of the printers we use for mugs. Got this one from BMS as well as they are local to us.
