Well if the pressure is uneven across the surface of 4 coasters what would you use? I would probably do a single item at the time if I was doing them (as Ian M stated) and would use a teflon sheet normally unless the surface was uneven when I use silicon sheets.
If a jobs worth doing it has to be Worth Doing Right

This video will give you a good idea of what to do even though it is a clock she is pressing. The clock is the same material as the coasters so, don't worry too much about that. It also gives you a good idea of what kind of pressure she is using too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C60L1WUeVc4
Yes sound advice. This could be moisture related so always good to pre-press as it doesn't do the product any harm.
