The End of Mouse Pads? A Frustrating Journey

😔Despite my passion for creating mouse pads, I have concluded that it is no longer feasible due to technical hurdles.

🖥️My current heat press machine, the Easy Press, was unable to consistently produce high-quality mouse pads.

🕒I spent a significant amount of time and effort trying to troubleshoot the issues with ghosting and uneven heating on the mouse pads.

💔I had to disappoint customers who had placed orders for mouse pads, offering them a refund or a substitute product.

🔜I plan to invest in a full-sized automatic heat press in the future to expand my product offerings.
