Re: Mouse mats

Post by Lollipop »

I’m having issues with mouse mats…. They are printing beautifully, but I can’t get the paper to stay still! I’ve tried tape and a spray adhesive. The spray was a disaster, it didn’t stick but it did take the ink off. I had seen it recommended for sublimation and at £30 a can I had high hopes, but…. Tape works better, but it still moves. Just wondering what you all use please?

We print a lot of mouse mats and don't have problem with tape (brown 20mm) but we do wrap the paper behind the mat and then tape the paper across each corner so you're not actually taping to the back of mat but making it within an enclosed shell if you like. Once pressed then just easily remove and let mat cool on the floor.

Not a fan of tape on anything that’s not a solid as I always have issues.
I do get on very well with the 3m reposition-able spray adhesive. (Can’t remember exact name but can check if need be) it’s not too expensive and goes a long way.

It’s my only go to for fabric coasters and mousemats.
