Printing textured versus smooth

Have purchase a textured print plate to try it. 
I have clean it with soap and hot water, and before each try, a clean with isopropanol, As I do with the smooth plate. 
I have also made some adjustments for the first print. 

the first print is good, but I have always a part that move on the second or third layer. 
mis their are something special to do with the textured plate? 

I have put back my old plate, I have change the setting of the first layer, and for now, everything is printing well on my smooth plate.

Print a 2" calibration circle with your textured plate. Post it here - and we will give suggestions.

The textured surface has less adhesion than the smooth. You may need to use a brim.

I was printing 50 token with a base of 10mm, and 2-3 token have move on the third layer. 
then, the textured plate is better with big print? 

I will store it, and maybe use it in the futur for bigger part. 

thank you for the answer.

On a new plate, try printing one of your object until you are happy with the result.

Printing 50 of anything at once shows a lot of confidence in your process.

One finger print on the plate can ruin all 50.
