Default Heat Press Advice UK

hey just wondered if anyone can help.

Im looking to buy a heat press in the UK.

I think i have found one and it has various attachments for mugs and caps.

Has anyone got any advice on what to look for rather than a brand name because most of the ones mentioned on here are American types and i cant find them reasonabilly priced in the UK??

Im just starting out so any advice would be great.

Also what is the diffedrence between sublimination printing and heat transfer?

Hi Amy

The problem with the attachment mug press is that you can only print on a limited area around the mug, unlike the dedicated mug presses or oven wraps which can print all round.

Here's a site for a heat press manufacturer based in Leicester Welcome Home to A. Adkins and Sons Limited - Manufacturers of high quality heat presses - Manual & Pneumatic.

As for sublimation (which is what I do) there are a number of suppliers in UK but be careful as there are one or two who's prices are on the high side.
