Hello everyone,
I am contemplating purchasing a mug press startup business and am torn between two. The first is the DF1 mug press with Ricoh SG3110 printer and cratridges etc. as sold on the BMS website, the second is the Coral 4 Mug Press Starter Package, with the same Ricoh printer. If you could give me any advice, as to which is the better package, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks in advance
Dean

Yes, Ive been reading positive things about the printer. I'm worried about purchasing the wrong press, as I'd imagine that some are better than others??? Do you have any knowledge of the two mug presses listed above and if ,which would you recommend?
I really appreciate the help. Thanks

Having used both companies on many occasions and seen their equipment I would personally recommend the BMS option. Support is going to be essential at the start and they will look after you

This Justin,
This is another thought that had crossed my mind. Having chatted to reps from both companies over the phone, I really struggled to understand the rep from Coralgraph and as i encounter problems, which I am likely to, this communication barrier could be an issue.
I realise people do not wish to divulge information pertaining to their suppliers, but could I ask, does 18pence sound about right, for a single, brown postal box?
Thanks again

Yes, I can see how this would be a major problem for you....makes the decision a lot easier!
I only use the smash proof boxes from subli.co.uk, wouldn't trust anything else.
