Discuss the different brands and sizes of heat presses available on the market, including Hix, GeoKnight, Hotronix, and other smaller manufacturers. Topics include maintenance, selection, styles and more.
We are looking to add a horizontal full wrap mug press to our operation and wanted to get opinions from the group. Here are the potential options we are deciding between:
- GEO Knight DK3 $746.99 6 year/6,000 mug warranty, double the manufature warranty from BestBlanks.com
- SunIE MP250, $164 delivered, 6 month warranty
We are open to other suggestions and recommendations. We are interested in knowing especially if others have experience with either of these mug presses.
Hi,
I suggest going with a name brand or one with a good track record. You might save money by checking ebay for a slightly used one. Geo Knight is a good brand.
Chris and Tom - Thanks for taking the time to help us with this decision process. At $700 with just a 3 year warranty, we were hesitant. The BestBlanks.com offer to double the manufacture warranty really sweetens the deal.
My only concern with wraps is they are $20+ each, for the Cactus wraps. We intend to do more than the occassional mug. In fact, if we get the order we're working on with a client, it will pay for the GEO Knight machine and then some. It will be for a national chain of Christian book stores.
Mug Press - which one to buy?
