they fit, reduce pressure, and suggest you give them a really good warm up before print, - boiling water/sit on t press for an hour, - they suck up heat, and you don't want waste!

I get boxes made for El Grandes. Not cheap, but the increased selling price covers the cost of the box - particularly given how much time I was wasting converting other boxes to fit.

Unfortunately not. I only buy 25 at a time. The last boxes I bought were for coasters. I was going to get some more El Grande boxes at the same time but I didn't have any El Grande orders in my books.

One time in the winter, I had an El Grande break in the oven because it was too cold before heating up. These days, I sit them on top of the radiator before doing the pressing.
