i have been looking for a multi mug press for fine china mugs. I am looking to produce multiple china printed mugs at a time.
I have a 5 mug press at the moment for ceramic mugs but the company i purchased it from don't provide blankets/wraps for fine china mugs.
Does this type of press exist.......
Help...im going round in circles.....

5 separate standalone presses on a work bench ... this is how we do it ... I can't see what advantage a single machine would give over this.

One controller for all five presses Pisquee, its also what I use. When I have been really really busy I have added two singles to the mix but it ends up a bit of a nightmare with so many controllers.

With regards to the OP, if your supplier of the press does not sell them you will have a bit of a problem. But who is the supplier as it might be that they do sell the correct thing but call it something different.

I don't like the single controller from the point of view of having all your eggs in one basket, and I like that each press is running to its own time, and the pressing is like a cascade - you get into a rhythm and it works quite well with one press after another.

you get into a rhythm and it works quite well with one press after another

Totally get that and I suppose its whatever you get used to. I agree about the eggs/basket but then again, been running this one for well over 10 years now and still working

To answer your question, no there is no multi mug press especially for thinner china mugs. You would need to buy a number of presses and buy separate blankets.

It is possible to get a 5 in 1 mug press to do either 5 standard mugs at a time or to
do 5 taller/ thinner mugs at a time . They are made.

I stand corrected, but do you end up with ten blankets?

That could be an option. You can get this with the 5 standard blankets (as discussed here) or supplied with the 5 thicker blankets for doing the thinner mugs. You could even go for the standard item and then 5 extra thicker blankets to swap over but I don't think the electric connections necessarily make that a quick change over.

A lot of presses are made up of standard parts, so you'd just need to find a supplier who has all the relevant parts in their inventory who can give you a price on making up the system you want.
