Still looking for a press - but wondering if buying a Mug press and kit is worth while -

What Should i be looking at?

i suggest you spend a few hours reading all the threads and advice on this forum, then talk to one of the suppliers that get lots of mentions like BMS

I guess they're worth buying if you can identify your market or know you can 'manufacture' your market - is this for your church youth project? If you can keep sales going then yes...

Its just knowing what equipment we can get - which is easy to store and also create decent things to sell on to raise a bit of profit.

All mug presses are small so easily stored. Epson printers are smaller than ricoh, the ricoh seems to have a large footprint for an A4 printer. If space is tight you'll want a clam press for t shirts etc, not swing away. You'll need sublimation ink, not dye ink.
All above available from xpres/BMS/the magic touch/coralgraph/ebay etc.

There you go - that's everything you need to start mug, t shirt and promotional item printing. :biggrin: Hand in pocket, and within a few days you'll be selling.

Everything is relative. If you are going to 'hit the market' and be the biggest and best in mug production then you need something that will produce in quantity. If you're on the 'hobbyist' end of the scale a single press machine will be fine.......just remember the adage...'buy cheap buy twice'.....it's sometimes not the case but if you want reliability buy from a recognised/respected supplier.

If you buy and it just sits there doing nothing then whatever you buy will be a waste of money. In essence only you can decide.

Thanks for advice - dont imagine we will be making hundreds of them, but would like a steady output. Noticed alot of the mugs on the sites look the same - just vary in price - Emailed Corelgraph they had an offer on one. will see what they say.

think this needs moving from the forsale section

Sorry folks new to the forum and guessed that posting here might get people helping and also maybe selling offering a sale... Hadn't realised it was going to cause problems - Thanks for the advise so far
