Re: Problem printing polymer coaster

<t>Thank you to everyone who has had input with this. I have finally got it printing and looking good, but I did have to get rid of the black background. For starters, the black background wraps down the side of the coaster a little and looks bad. For anyone else trying to print on the polymer ...

Really? I had no idea I should be using lower temps! I will try again in the morning. I have printed polymer mugs before and they worked really well.
