    The Xpres mats are pretty white! Tried a batch already. Really good, but don't forget to pre-press them at high pressure for about 15-20 secs to make the edges neater.

    Thanks for the info, Paul. What would you suggest as a good amount of time/temperature, seeing as my normal pressing with TruePix Paper is 30 seconds once my press has reached180C?

    Mouse Pad printing question.

    I've been sublimating mouse pads for a while now. No major problems so far (touch wood) especially if I pre-press the pads at a high pressure for 15-20 seconds first (really helps with the edges).

    Is the quality of most sublimation mouse mats much the same or are there brands/suppliers better than others? I'm currently considering these ones from Listawood:
