I am currently looking for a automatic t-shirt printer, i live in the uk, i want to know which is the best printer including costs, maintenance, size, speed etc.
I want to start printing in the UK before i use to get the jobs printed in Bangladesh but without any guidance some prints were coming out bad.
Any help would be appreciated and i did check the sites but no body has a price tag on their machine.
Anatol all the way. Best quality for the price. The 8 station 7 head pneumatic Horizon Mini (less that 8' diameter!) costs about 17k Euros. I think they have an UK distirbutor.
If you are just starting out in this field, maybe a UK distributor with a dedicated UK product support/technical team would be the best plan. Your Embroidery Services - Yes Ltd.

We got the Adelco JF180-3. Check out this page. Basically, we got the one you can see here except with a regular belt, we did not get the split two way belt. We did purchase the drone extension. We print a lot of waterbase so the drone helps cure/cook/dry the water based inks without having to slow down the belt too much. Right now it is supporting an MHM auto and a manual press, but it would support two autos, which is why we bought the big one the first time around, so when it's time for another press, all we need is another press, we don't have to think about the dryer. I can't really disclose how much we paid for the dryer, at least I don't think I should to be fair to the vendor. We negotiated the price, and I am sure not everyone gets the same price. I think you could expect to pay anywhere from $15,000 (usd) to $30,000 (usd) depending on what model dryer you purchase, and how successful you are at the negotiations...
I also agree with TJ, you would be well served with a Diamond Back as well. M&R does provide great support, at least in the states, not sure about the UK. If you did go with M&R for the press, you might as well also look into their dryers as you have more leverage negotiating prices on a package deal.
