Complete T-Shirt & Cap Printing Business for Sale

(I hope this ad doesnt contravene any of the forum rules, please let me know if it does as this was unintentional.)

Regrettably, I am having to sell everything due to a sudden illness and I need the room at home.

I recently put all this equipment and stock together (after listening to all the advice on the forum about what to buy) with a view to starting my own dye sublimination & vinyl T-shirt & cap printing business but a sudden illness has sadly put an end to those ambitions.

All the hardware is in good working condition (fully tested prior to sale) with the odd scuff or scratch mark you would expect from equipment that has been used in this type of business. It has all been looked after however and will no doubt give years of good service.

Local collection only as this is all way too big to even think about packing up for posting! I am based in Milton Keynes. There are no original boxes for equipment, but all clothing etc will be bagged up for you. You will need a large car or even a small van to transport all of this so if you are travelling a long way please bear this in mind so you dont have to make two journeys!

Please Note: I am open to offers, so please do get in touch if you want to take everything off my hands now. I do not want to split this as it is all complete. Sensible offers only however, because if you know anything about T-shirt & dye sub printing you will appreciate the value of the stock here!

So, what do we have in this collection:

Epson 1400 A3 printer

This is a six-ink printer in excellent condition and has only used dye sublimination inks since new. No scratches or dents etc on this printer.

Mains lead/USB cable & original CD software/driver disc included

Dye Sublimination Ink CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System)

Six-Ink CISS which is already installed into the Epson 1400 (approx. 30ml of each colour in tanks) - also comes with spare ink (see below)

There are 12 x 125ml capacity bottles of replacement dye sub inks included. Please note: bottle ink contents are as follows:

•1 x 125ml btl Light Magenta (approx 110ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Light Magenta (approx 70 ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Magenta (approx 50ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Magenta (approx 110ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Black (approx 45ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Black (approx 100ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Yellow (approx 40ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Yellow (approx 110ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Light Cyan (approx 110ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Light Cyan (approx 65ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Cyan (approx 110ml ink)
•1 x 125ml btl Cyan (approx 70ml ink)
Also comes with six unused refillable ink cartridges for Epson 1400

Creation CA630 Vinyl Cutter/Plotter (badged KingCut)

With original software driver disc

USB & Serial ports

Blade & blade holder included

2 spare blades

1 pen

Mains lead & USB lead

T-Shirt Heat Press

62cm x 42cm actual heat plate size

Thick 0.5" rubber mat

I also have a boxed-new 38cm x 38cm heat press for sale separately, but if you wanted to take this as well as a backup press or even for smaller projects, I can quote you a price.

Cap Heat Press

For heat pressing designs onto caps/hats

Clothing Stock (all blank & new)

Number of items are approximates, not had time to accurately count every item, but I have underestimated rather than exaggerated numbers!

Over 120 + assorted T-Shirts:

•52 (approx) Hanes Polyster White T-Shirts (Lge) for Dye Sub printing. link to T-Shirts: http://www.barone.co.uk/products/t-shir ... -hanes/175
•23 x Gildan Heavy Cotton T-Shirts White (lge)
•17 x Gildan Heavy Cotton T-Shirts White (med)
•31 x Gilda Heavy Cotton T-Shirts White (sml)
•6 x Screenstars Cotton T-Shirts Green (med)

70 x Beechfield Quality Padded Caps
•48 x Black & White (approx)
•10 x Red & White (approx)
•12 x Navy & White (approx)

540 x (15 boxes of 36) Black Polyester Trucker Hats - printable facing

T-Shirt Vinyl

Several assorted rolls of T-Shirt vinyl (width 50cm)

Orange
Green
Pink
Blue
Black
Red

I do not want to crease the vinyl by unrolling it to see how many metres there are, but I would estimate at least 10-15m in total. If you are really desperate to know how much there is I could risk unrolling it however.

Extras

Male manequin front body for displaying T-Shirts

Female manequin front body for displaying T-Shirts

Polystyrene head for displaying caps

1ltr btl polyester fluid (use for coating cotton t-shirts to enable dye-sub printing on them

3 x large brown teflon sheets for use with heat presses (rolled up and stored in cardboad tube)

6 x used ink syringes for refilling CISS or ink carts

5 x unused ink syringes for refilling CISS or ink carts

Roll of heat fixing tape

50 A3 sized sheets Pro Sub Ultra 135 Dye Sublimination printing paper (boxed/sealed)

30 loose/opened A3 sized sheets (as above)

2 x weeding tools for T-Shirt vinyl

Tool for inserting your own designer tags/labels into t-shirts or caps etc

Any questions are welcome as are your offers, but please no really silly offers, the inks alone cost nearly £300 and the Epson 1400 well we are know what they are worth etc etc. If you are in this type of business, you will appreciate the total cash value of the hardware & stock combined, so make me a decent offer and you could grab yourself an amazing bargain and ready made start-up business! I cannot think of anything else you will need to get started.

First sensible offer I receive and this will go, I am not going to be greedy and keep you hanging on waiting for something better, just want a reasonable return on my investment and for the gear to go to a real dye sub enthusiast who will make the most of it. (You must send me an e-mail pic of the first items you produce lol.)

Hi Paul, well altogether there is £2500 worth of stock in total. As for the large heat press name, its a CY-G1. Obviously I am not looking for anywhere near what it all cost originally, just a sensible offer.

Hi, sorry for nto replying earlier been quite unwell last couple of days. No, not sold yet, had a couple of reasonable(ish) offers on eBay but not yet the price I want. Will probably accept one of the eBay offers though if nothing else comes along before the end of the listing, as I need the spare room back lol.

I think it should be a forum rule that if you're advertising anything for sale that you put a guide price on of what you're willing to accept, that way the seller won't be offended if they get low offers
