We sold our mug presses several years ago and went strickly to the wraps. You simply afix the transfer with heat tape, wrap with a sheet of blow out paper and tighten your wrap. Times will vary depending on the size of mugs, number of mugs, etc. You just have to play with that part of it until you find what works for you. After baking, simply drop the wraps off and dunk the mugs into a water bath to cool.
Several folks are using the small counter top sized convection ovens. I think they can get about four mugs in at a time.
The mug presses are handy if you print only a mug here and there. They are quicker for single mugs (when you have customers waiting), but for volume orders, the wraps have been much more productive. We use a convection oven and can cook between 12 and 18 mugs at a time. In my shop, one person can easily complete a case an hour. We also are able to print a larger area of the mug with the wraps, our full wraps are 9.00".
