Where to find the silicon mat used with the heat press? The repair guy that fixed my Tjet2 used this when pressing a shirt and said it is now recommended over the coated butcher type paper. He said it is reusable. I have looked online at all the sites I use but I do not see it offered. I think he called it a silicon mat but I may be searching for the wrong thing. I don't think the digital printing sites have a link to a "coated mat thingamajig"
Any ideas?

Is it a silicon mat or a teflon mat? The teflon mat is a tan-ish or grey color. This it look like the first image below? One thing about this mat is that it will give you a different result when curing black shirts. Basically, after curing your black shirt with this sheet/mat, your image will have a glossy effect compared to using the silion curing sheets. You will really notice it when you have a lot of colors on your image and some people use this sheet/mat to get that effect.

The felt pad is good to use underneath your shirt when curing(second image). Basically, it will help absorb the moister being evaporated from the ink and will help cut down your curing times by 30 seconds to even a minute on dark shirts. I used this before and the good thing is that after using it for a month, all you have to do is throw it in the washer and it will soften back up like new.
