A case of mugs only weighs 12 lbs. You can save a bundle on shipping. They weigh a lot less than ceramic mugs. But they are selling for a little over $2 ea in case lots. They would be ok for promotional mugs but not at $2 each blank.</p> <p>The fabric printer that would print on black shirts needed a prep spray, heat pressed, printed, heat pressed again.

JDS has those mugs now but they are pricy. I like the idea of that printer--there are 3 or 4 I guess but the white wasn't quite up to the opacity of screen printing. I suspect it won't be long until they have that solved as well. With prices for small machines from $13,000 to over $20,000 I think I'll be farming my jobs out. Thanks for your comment--I used to live in Broadripple back when Letterman was the weatherman.
