    Sign up for the VIP security, I just did it and it was super simple and free.  Now when I go to log into PayPal I get a 6 digit code that is only good for 5 minutes, if I don't enter it in correctly I cannot log into my account.  Simple & free.

    I always drain my account down so there's nothing for them to have. Have not had any problems (knock on wood) with paypal except my wife using it to buy marykay. 

    But wouldn't that then cause, in this case, for the money to be paid directly from my associated checking account?

    I know warnings have been posted before but just a reminder - watch your PayPal account.  I got an e-mail from PayPal stating that I sent payment for $10 to someone, no other information besides his name.  At first I thought it was a scam e-mail trying to get me to give up my username / password.  I went directly to PayPal and logged in, didn't see the payment sent listed in the recent activity.  I thought that was strange so I clicked the link to look at payments sent and sure enough, there was the payment. 

     

    They are getting crafty, not only did they find a way to send themselves $10 from my account but they then figure out how to hide it from the recent activity so that I might think the e-mail was the scam and not see that money was actually sent.

     

    If you haven't done so in a while now is a good time to change your password and security questions!

    Well I went back to their sight and found this Swing Away which is 15X12 (is that big enough) but they also have a 15X18 Swing Away Listed but when I click the link it doesn't open up.  :angry:   I can see where a Swing Away would be nice to get a birds eye view and line things up better. The Swing Away is Still gives good center pressure w adjustment correct?  Thanks

    This is the press I bought and have been very happy with it so far.  I'm still new to this and I've never used a different brand but I was able to adjust this so that I am getting equal pressure on all four corners and based on my IR thermometer the build in temperature gauge is accurate.  Seems to be a great price / quality point for someone new to the process.  I definitely would go with swing away over clamshell, both for the working room as well as a more consistent pressure.  From what I have read clamshell tend to have different pressure on the front vs. back due to the hinge.

    Printed up two photos tonight, one on clear (silver) and one on glossy white.  This is one of my daughter's senior pictures and we are thinking of printing these up as Christmas gifts.  For this type of photo the glossy white is definitely the better finish.  My iPhone photos aren't that great, they came out a lot better than the pictures look.  The top one is on glossy white, the bottom photo is clear (silver)

    I have the DC mug attachment for the Knight Combo press which is the same as the DK3 and I am also using Conde mug paper. I need to go 6 min @ 400 degrees anything less and I start to get sub par results

     

    Thank you, I'll try 6 mins tonight then.  I'm feeling optimistic now!!

    The paper is the mug paper from Conde.  I'll go longer and see if it improves.  I'm most likely going to sell it as I have cactus wraps and got those right my first try!  Plus then I can do shot glasses and larger steins.

     

    I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back.

     

    Thanks.

    So I bought a used Knight mug press off of a guy on Ebay and I want to fix it up a bit before I either sell it or use it.  It works fine, I think it just needs to be glued into place?  As you can see by the photo the heating mat it pulled away from the metal.

     

    Is there a high temp glue I can use to put this back to where it should be?

     

    Thanks.

    Mfatty I agree, some of the sublimation stuff is expensive. Like I got the Mantle clocks 45.00 and its nothing but mahogany stained MDF board with Hardboard tiles and a cheap clock mechanism.

     

    Ouch, now way to make a profit off of something of that (low) quality.
