Has anyone tried the soft top rubber for printing over seams, buttons etc? I was looking at on Action Engineerings site. It says it's 1/4 inch thick which would cause me to use my lowest off-contact. Is it able to be temporarily mounted to the pallet or is it a permanent mount?

You want a softer foam for over seams. 1/4 is also way to thick for a soft rubber for over seams printing. I use a cheap foam that is 1/16 and it is enough for most stuff I have printed.

I have tried some things with not a lot of luck.Murphy37
