Hi

I've been looking at the Coralgraph press here --> http://www.coralgraph.com/heat-press1/m ... -certified
and have emailed them asking if I could to 3 sizes of water bottles in it. 400ml, 500ml and 600ml. They replied that they only sell 500ml bottles. They didn't answer my question exactly.

Should I assume that it only does the one size or do you think I can do the others too?

Anyone got this press, and if so, what can you tell me about it.

regards

I believe that this press will only work with 500ml bottles so you're limiting it's use a little. I print quite a few bottles but I choose to use a normal mug press with a 3mm insert so that I can always switch back to 10oz mugs quickly and easily.

Take a look in the Suppliers section and Premium Members section, there are a few really good deals on right now from different suppliers so you'll get a good discount on a mug press

I thought that the difference of these bottles was in the height rather than the diameter. The 2 sizes at BMS are same diameter.

@justin - i just bought some water bottles from BMS to try & a silicon pad/mug wrap also from BMS.http://www.printerowners.co.uk/sublimat ... -wraps.htm
I take it this will do for the water bottles ?

how much more do you leave these in to cook with the extra pad around it ?

I pad mine with a 3mm silicon sheet and in my presses I set them at 205c for 200 secs which works a treat for me. One thing I do is make sure the press and the insert are warmed up properly before starting.

thanks justin

Would this press be the right size for other small diameter items, like the soap dispenser/toothbrush holder sets, the espresso cup and saucer, and the slightly taller/thinner coffee cups
