I've only done a couple of samples but they were fine. Maybe you just have a bad batch? Not sure what could go wrong with these though.

I don't think it's a bad batch because I've noticed a similar thing on some of the coasters that have been coming through. The old type with the chinchilla pattern (no longer available) were as good as the old 300x200mm placemats, but the current ones with the smooth surface are almost as bad as the 265x195 placemats.

You can see a distinct difference in the two placemats after printing just by looking underneath. With the old 300x200mm ones, all the ink is pulled through (in some way) the white base which leaves the underside looking "white". The newer 265x195 are the opposite in which there is far more colour underneath the placemat than what goes through it. The white coating is clearly different and clearly doesn't do the same job as it used to. You can't tell it's different before printing, though.
