I got a mug as a present:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMSTRAD-CPC-6128-RETRO-COMPUTER-MUG-CAN-BE-PERSONALISED-/192023737609?hash=item2cb581b509:g:5OEAAOSwRJ9XgrnQ

The mug is good quality. It's got weight to it, it's not thin so it's not going to break easily. I use it at work and when it's in the dishwasher there are loads of other mugs crammed in there too.

The picture on the side is good (I can read the text listing the colours and their names) it's survived the dishwasher for a couple of weeks already without fading or the picture changing.

The depiction of the keys make it look like those from a "tall cpc464" keyboard but they are clear to read. The picture looks like it's been drawn rather than a photo.

It's "normal" size, so plenty of space for coffee and tea. (Not one of those small ones that are sometimes given away with chocolate eggs).

EDIT: The image doesn't appear to be printed on the outside, it's like it's been put on and the glaze then put over the top.

That's a nice one; he's also have 464 and 664 versions, plus other computers too, so you can build a nice set :)

The mug is doing well. I use it every day at work and it goes into the dishwasher every day.

The picture has faded a little, mostly the colour of the keyboard, the keys are just as sharp as when they were first printed on. A little bit has scratched off but that's because it's been put in with loads of other mugs.

I have another at home which I use less and it looks like new still.

If the keyboard has faded a bit it can just be natural yellowing  :D

Funny review  ;D


Like tshirts, i prefer to do things "myself"


It's easy to find quality printers (but it costs time!!!)


For the mug, i ordered a french website when their was a huge saving, the mug costs me 10€ and it's "unique"
