you could also try http://www.dyesub.org/

I’ve done a fairbit of dyesub, and must admit, mugs are my favourite.

One slight word of warning, even though they are meant to be dishwasher safe, I have noticed with regular washing (in a dishwasher) dyesub mugs can fade after time. Other than that you can get superb results.

I do dye sub printing
I use an Epson stylus 1290 A3 Inkjet with bulk ink system from http://www.continuousink.com
(cartridges are too expensive)

A Thermopress swinger transfer press, 50 x 40CM version, I use this as there are mug and cap attachments for it for less than half the price of a mug or cap press alone.

heres a few sites I use for my dye sub supplies.
http://www.xpres.co.uk they also do consumables for cutting and transfers, IE extra flex, nylo cut etc, they have a big range of sublimatable goods, and send out free samples.
I have used http://www.thetransferpress.co.uk for some stuff as well they seem to be relatively cheap but are retail not trade only.

some very interesting sublimatable gear at Listawood trade supples (cant put url as admin auto edits it) including counter tops, tiles, and crystiles, (glass tiles you print through the back and the design shows through the glass) so good for wall and floor murals etc.

Hi dtg

I came across a sublimation site the other day called http://www.subli-nation.com

It is uk based

I have signed up with it but have not had a chance to have a good look yet so can’t say how useful it is.
