This is in regard to this thread :

http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/sh ... ded)/page5


I brought a mugpress and since getting it can not print full mugs only text in middle as the press mustnt be heating up proper
I contacted the seller and he agreed to pay for new element if can find one.

Ive checked ebay and all can find on there is another one for sale : (full press not element) (see link below)
Does anyone know of any source where i could get the heat blanket from as the press is just gathering dust and i want to be using it.
Ive tried Adkins website and filled in the contact sheet but no reply from them at all regarding my query

Surely somewhere out there must a seller who sells these machines and any spares that are needed for them

Anyone got any ideas where :)

this is exact press i have - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XPRES-MAGIC-T ... 1c22bf079a

except mine dont work :(

All help appreciated as at moment can only do cups with text in middle as they seem to come out kk if i keep away from the edges

in the guys description he says : NB: This mug press is XPRES branded, but is similar to a magic touch, Adkins branded beta mug press.

They might not sell the machine now but it's possible they either have elements in or can get one

Definitely phone them. We have an old Adkins Omega 8000 - we called them for details on it before we bought it, and spoke to a guy who knows them well because he used to make them. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

well what do you know,seems problem is now solved - cheers all
Rung Adkins and spoke to fiona and part is now paid for and will arrive mon/tuesday next week
Cost for the new part was 67.38 (nearly half price of a new mug press so lets hope it lasts a while)

not the cheapest but i am sure this part will serve you LONG LONG time now ;) little tip though... :rolleyes:
When heating up your press ALWAYS keep dummy mug in it ;) so your heat element will last longer ;)

btw. send this invoice to the seller. I am serious!
