As a premium coaster with a premium price then I would imagine they have to reduce their prices if they want printers to continue to use this product. Emily - any idea of price changes? Certainly the coating on the top doesn't look like it has changed and in reality nothing matches the white coaster coating from Unisub but now the coaster is as light as ones we can buy at half the Unisub price then may have to move clients across to a non-unisub coaster.
Also received a sample from Emily, which I am yet to test out. The benefit of the dark hardwood back from before is it gives off a premium look, whereas the new light ‘MDF’ board looks like exactly what it is; MDF (compressed fibres)

That sure is a big difference in weight, and the fact it no longer repels water, doesn’t give me confidence of it remaining perfectly flat once pressed. You’re 100% right about the coating and it being unmatched. The majority of coasters have a yellow tint to them.
