    Green Heat Conductive Rubber Pad

    Hello,

    I am trying to source a Green Heat Conductive Rubber Pad as I will press on ceramic tiles 5x5 cm which are not fully flat.

    I don't find a supplier in UK or Europe. All I find is from US sites, so want to avoid expensive customs :)

    Perhaps someone here could point me in the right direction. Would be truly grateful for that? As long as it's in UK or other Europe, it's fine.

    Perhaps @Earl Smith knows a German supplier that supplies it. I have looked at Printequipment's site, but not found anything of use so far.

    Thanks.

    For flat ceramics I've used thick ironing board felt covered with teflon sheet...to make a pillow. Or blue silicone sheets as seen here:

    I bought this a while ago but never used it for tiles as I dont do them. I have an Oki white A3 printer and it important that the pad on the press remains totally flat. A slight dent and the A and B papers for the forever system will not bond together.
    I use my silicon pad for the Forever Multi Trans papers.
    Hope this helps.

    Just remembered another place you could try. TMT or The Magic Touch. When I originally bought my white toner system , I bought their system. ( Since bought an A3 printer and the Forever system ). TMT supplied a silicon pad with the setup. That might work for you too. TMT is in germany, not as helpful as the english TMT supplier but at least you could order it from here.

    First of all, thank you @GoonerGary and @Earl Smith for the helpful advice and links.

    I will have a look at the links and will buy something suitable for pressing my tiles. Thanks once again :)

    An update.

    Was told that it would also work with a teflon pillow as the tile will sink into it so also the unflat part will be sublimated. So, a solution building on what @GoonerGary has mentioned here earlier.
