    Advice for printing car sun shields & other items please

    I have a box of samples to send to a client, and am including some lines that I haven't printed before, and I wondered if anyone could give any help & tips with heat temps & times etc please? I know most suppliers put recommended settings on their websites, but I find them often just a generic setting. Anyway, I will list the items I am going to have a go at, and hope you can help:

    Car window/sun shades ( the ones generally used to shade kids in rear side windows) obviously a delicate material, so temp must be an issue? any advice welcomed.

    Small record bag / man bag type thing? like a woven poly type construction, with a white coated flap. I have done many faux leather wallets & phone cases and attempted to use the same setting for this man bag flap, but the image came out quite weak.

    Plastic / hard resin type drinks coaster? I have done many hardboard coasters and get great vibrant results, would these plastic coasters be similar settings ?

    Rubber backed drinks coaster ? similar in construction to a mouse mat, black rubber underneath, and a loose weave top surface.

    Teddy bear with white tee shirt. not done one before, any help & advice gratefully received.

    Thanks in advance

    Chris P

    Car sunshade you can use normal temperature and around 40 secs. Most others at 60 secs such as both coasters. That's based on Epson.
