Thinking about starting sublimation business very soon (January/Februery), so probably I will put more questions then answers on this forum.

Budget about £1750 (combo heat press, 2xepson b1100, pigment and dyusub injekt CISS, cutter/plotter - cheap china or Silhouette Cameo, papers and accessories and some blank products)...

Part-time and then I will see...

Online shop, Ebay and Facebook selling (try to improve SEO, PPC campaign), local advertisement (leaflets, special promo with door delivery etc.), friends and friends of friends selling...

I think it is still place for new competitors on this market, because sublimation and stuff around did not reach peak yet.

GL everybody.

Hi Mike and welcome to the forum. For that money I'd be looking to get a better press and probably a better printer as well. The Ricoh is great for a new starter and I'd buy a second hand press, Adkins or Hotronix, something like that. If you're only doing A4 go for the Ricoh 3300, maybe a B1100 for A3 but consider the Ricoh 7000. Ricoh would see you up and running quickly and you'll have less issues.

You'll find a Suppliers List under our General section. Xpres are good for packages and will take you through everything before you decide to buy. Just down the M1 in Castle Donnington, Derbys.

Justin: Thank you, I have got still time to final decision, so definitely I will look around, but limited budget.

And maybe I could say, I am from Czech Republic, so if somebody will have any questions about Czech Republic, Prague etc., just post me message and I can help.

do you speak Polish?
if so our friendly Mod Paul is Polish i think

he gets by pretty well with his polinlish bless him

A lot of people ask me, but I am not, czech language is different, I can speak slovakian, because we used to be together (Czechoslovakia)... We have got some similar words with polish, I think we can a bit undestand each other if we are speaking slowly...

kool
i struggle with english rofl

smitch6: To be honest, I wish I could change with you, right now, english is everything what you need.

they do say english is the hardest language to learn until you get to my age then anything is hard to learn lol

Dobry dzien michal. Welcome on forum.
Yes. Czech is little bit similar but not as much as slovakian. I have some chech and slovakian friends and with those from slovakia we can understand 90% of converstaion by speeking our own languages! Lol
