I've just received some coasters from MDP (https://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/dye-subli ... n_coasters) and their site says Unisub wooden coasters with a high gloss finish designed for dye sublimation. Press at 180C for 60 seconds.
The image is a little faint so I'm guessing their timings are out and may need longer
Have any of you used this product from them and what are your timing and temp settings
Many thanks

Re: MDP Coasters - Press Timings
Their coasters are unisub.
I use them and they are the same as xpres ones.
I press mine at 185 for 60 seconds but I do dry mine out with a quick pre-press.
you will be surprised how much moisture comes off these coasters. Just a quick 20 second press will do it.
let them cool apply image and press.
I also use a firm pressure when pressing these.

Re: MDP Coasters - Press Timings
I mainly use the inkexperts paper style lite I think it is.
I use mug paper for mugs and two coasters at a time. (I have templates made up this way)
I do also use trupix paper for larger orders so I can fit more coasters per sheet.

Again thanks for you reply, I've used Inkexperts All-Purpose Dye Sub paper, hope that's good enough
