Hi guys, just bought some coasters from bms but having problems!

For some reason they just won't work.

I bake for 60 secs at 90 degs like it advises but it just comes out really light as if the ink isn't transferring.

Any ideas?

90 degrees? I'd try nearer 190 degrees! I do mine at 185 degrees for 70 seconds.

I do wooden placemats and coasters at 200 degrees for 60 secs - should probably be slightly lower in temp but I found doing them this way I avoid having to pre-press toget rid of any moisture and as my old mum says "if it aint broke - don't fix it".

Oh - and make sure the protective film is removed (if it's there).

i always do mine at 200c for 60 secs as well
and they are BMS's coasters i use the nice shiny hardwood ones

oooops sorry meant i press at 190 for 60 secs, it just seem to be transfering the ink!

i thought it must be a protective film but i cant see that it has one

They do, just keep picking at the corner and it comes off, then you'll find a difference. I use a stitch picker to get at it, but gently or wise you might scratch the coaster

if they are wooden ones then they dont have a film on. as far as i can remember...

USually when i have forgotten to take of the plastic once pressed its stuck too the paper, double check your paper for it.
