Thank you Adam! Paper used was texPrint HR. I must admit that it stick in two places but not to much. I think it is related with preasure and heat i used. I used silicon sheet to. about 1.5mm thick. suprisely slates are not that cold and heat in my press did not drop to much. so i think next time i may try 190C for 400sec. will see whats going to happen.
here is link to silicon i used. great stuff as there is no texture on it. flat as a pancake it is
