Love to see one of those in action.

A link to the printer in question would be good.

Welcome to the forum Dan. I've heard that these machines exist at great expense but I'm yet to see one.l

I saw one in operation on a youtube video in some Chinese factory, the mug sits on a rotating arm, and oscillates while printed from a fixed head - impressive looking machine.

Are we just talking spot colour screen prints or full colour. Direct rotary printers are common but never seen a full colour option. Did see an incredible auto screenprint machine from Scandinavia a while back. Only 60k.

Trupix or texprint are good papers and also i can recommend the xpres paper which was recommended to me on this forum. I use this at the moment and cant fault it.

Purchased from bms if im allowed to say.
