Hi Everyone,
I am looking at purchasing a mug press and need the advice of my fellow pressers. What is the best type of mug press to buy? Has anyone used Coastal mug press? I want the best for the money. What is the difference between the slant mug press and the straight mug press? Are there any mug press packages out there other than Coastal?

Thanks for you help!!
Marc

I bought Coastal's bundle with their mug press & it's great. I printed a perfect mug the first time!

I think BestBlanks has a bundle, also.

I like the mug press from novachrome its heavier than the press out today and you can add another press to the main press.

I just want to add, I suggest you purchase name brand equipment. This will insure you get service after the sale. I like you truly get exactly wht you pay for. Now that being said you can purchase used and still have support through the manufacturer. I hope this helps. ..... Good luck ...... JB

I agree with you on purchasing name brand equipment. I have read that you can do bigger mugs with the horizontal mug press than you can with the vertical mug press is that true?
What is the difference between the phoenix and hix mug presses?
Would someone be willing to post pictures of their mugs they have done?

The main difference is that the Phoenix press measures temperature rather than time increasing press cysles by 20% on average.

With the Phoenix press you lock in the mug at an idle temp of 300. When closed the press climbs to your peak temperature (usually about 390). After it heats the mug up to this temperature it takes 2 seconds to complete application.

Let the press cool back down to 300 before repeating the cycle. For a reguilar sized mug it takes approximately 4 minutes as opposed to other press' dwell times of 5 minutes +.

You should read more about it at Three full wrap mug presses: featuring the Phoenix mug press, the Knight DK3 and the HIX EP-565

Jack from Alpha is also a sponsor here and sells 3 styles of mug presses - the Phoenix (vertical), the Hix (horizontal) and the Knight (horizontal). He is a greta resource for knowledge on this type of equipment.
