The choice is totally yours about where you decide to buy your equipment from, what you will get from us is a totally unbiased approach about what it is that you actually need, if you just need a heat press then we will sell you a heat press. If you need lots of components to get yourselves up and running then we could sell you a business start up bundle. If you need training and guidance then we have our business start up packages, that come with full training and after sales support.
Lets not forget that we also make all of the items that you will be making ourselves, we dont just sell equipment we - actually print things too..
This enables us to give you an after sales support service like no other supplier can, if you need advice on getting the temperature right for a certain substrate or product then you can almost guarantee that we can help at the end of the phone.

Again there is lots of places you can get all of this stuff, we will give you some advice if required and we also sell the majority of these things ourselves..
Ink, Consumables, Paper, Blanks & Vinyl you can get directly from us if you choose.
10 - What is Sublimation Printing ?
Sublimation is a printing process developed only around 20 years or so ago, so it is fairly new and it has only really became a mainstream process for small format use in the last 6-7 years or so really..
The sublimation process is quite a nifty way of printing, basically you heat the item up that you want to print (mug, phone case, rock slate etc) with the sublimation paper attached to it and the ink evaporates at the baking temperature beneath the polymer or polyester layer of the product without it turning in to a liquid.
If you make a mug it is actually dishwasher safe and fade resistant, this is because once printed the ink goes under the outer layer of the actual mug and not on top of it.
To print with this method you would need a heat press machine, a sublimation printer and the relevant software to design your products like Photoshop (also elements) or Corel Draw etc.
11 - How Long is The Training For ?
The training usually takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on your level of computer skill, don't worry though you can stay for as long as it takes, our promise is to not leave you until you are confident you can use all of the software and all of the machines, no time restrictions will apply.
12 - If I buy a start-up package from you and decide after a few days that it isn't for me, can I get a refund ?
We will always help with any problems that you may have, however a refund will be available but it must adhere to our terms and conditions.
13 - If I get stuck or forget something can I call the shop for a bit of advice ?
Of course you can, we provide a full after sales support service for our customers, we realise that sometimes something can be just a click away, so instead of trawling YouTube or Google for hours it's often a lot quicker to just give us a call.
