Hi, I'm looking for silicone sheets, my supplier that sells the 2mm ones that seem to work for my ceramics is out of stock, can I just buy some on ebay that I think people use for baking and the such?

Re: Problems printing onto ceramic coasters
<t>Hi, it's a stahls /hotronix clamshell, fiddled around with settings a bit and using 205 deg C for 3 mins (with silicone mat), the results are getting there, sometimes great, but I'm still getting a weird effect, generally on black parts, where the ink seems to go a bit lighter, almost speckled ...

Re: Scratched Teflon coating on heat press :(
Thanks so much for your suggestion! Is the Teflon protector I linked likely of no use?

Re: Problems printing onto ceramic coasters
