Default silicon sheets for pressing dark t-shirts

please tell me where do you guys buy the silicon mat from... to give your dark t-shirts a matte look when using opaque transfer papers

the teflon sheet which i am using right now is giving my t-shirts a glossy look, which i dont really like

thanks for the help

I know there is a silicone mat available but I am not sure who sells them. I use the silicone treated parchment paper, and it works great for me. This is the place where I buy mine from Matfer Bourgeat EXOPAP - Parchment Paper. Its actually fairly cheap as these are the large 23 1/2 x 15 1/2 sheets, so if you are doing smaller designs they can be cut down to save on the paper. But its still fairly cheap for 500 sheets, that are good for 2 to 3 uses. These sheets work great for leaving a matte finish.

thank you so much,

i bought them already and since my designs are small, i am paying for 1000 8x11 sheets

that would mean that its good for 3000 t-shirts (if i can use 3 times each)

not bad for that price

thanks
