Hi myself and my son are just getting into the printing/heat pressing scene and would like a bit of advice please. We're planning on doing tshirts but would also like to print/press on phone cases, water bottles, bags etc. At the moment we have 2x Epson 1500w, 1x Oki Pro 9431 (graphics laser printer that I use in my photography business) an Adkins swing press and a Silhouette cameo 3 plotter.
Hoping to be able to print/press in bulk so would a 3d heat press be a useful addition to the kit list? If so any recommendations please.

Cheers

Hi Rich (and son) We use the SubliDeck 3D presses for our phone cases which are excellent but pricey. If you consider outsourcing/drop shipping we provide this service with no minimum orders. Could be an option whilst you build your market/test your design etc. Just give me a shout.

Water bottles you'll need a mug press or some sort of oven. If you're printing mugs we have a couple of threads on here discussing the small commercial ovens a few of us use, small outlay but excellent results

Hi Justin, thanks for your reply. I'm kinda being drawn down the 3d press route.. Is it possible to do water bottles in these? Cheers

If you mean the cheaper 3D presses you may be able to do them. Personally I've never seen satisfactory results with those ovens but others will hopefully respond that do use them.....
