Thank you, do you get any colour transfer? I usually put parchment paper down - with old Unisub there was no problem leaving it but new one I have to change every couple of presses otherwise get colour transfer on back

I just get the same as the old unisub. Where i have to put 2 sheets or 1 sheet folded of parchment paper on my heat press mat for the coasters to sit on and then just 1 sheet ontop of the coasters.
I find if i do not then theres a outline square of colour left on my mat and it stains it and find 1 layer it sometimes goes through so i double it
Ive had no issues with anything else just that
I don't get stains on the back of the coaster if thats what you mean

Plus the tape I use actually peels off super easy when its been heated so its not the tape issue
They feel slightly thinner than the old unisub but they do not warp or bend.
Its just the backing peeling as i tried 6 coasters and each had it
So i dont think i will use them
I find they do warp ever so slightly, it’s acceptable but the old design came out completely flat.
I found that peeling the tape off cold left no mark on the back (although you can see some fibres left on the tape)

- just speaking to a local firm about getting some jigs made - the ones from sublimania work well - until they warp

I started out with sublimania coasters.. yeah they warp bad and the printable surface has a yellow tint.. not much of an issue with all over prints but as soon as you print logos etc, it’s obvious
