Ali tooling plate is possibly a bit overkill, some views may differ. It is a large mass to get heated and may struggle to get to temp unless using powerful PSU and heater. If it is on a cart or moving bed type printer, its quite a mass to be moving.
PrintBite will be as flat as the material it is adhered to, and meets a number of industrial spec requirements. Its thickness is very consistent. I recommend using mirror tile or a float glass (boro or a toughened glass) from a glass supplier. Make sure the edges have been bevelled by the supplier (ie ground and deburred) to avoid stress cracks when heating. Avoid plain window glass.

The images you posted above are the ones you emailed me when stating your temps, which you told me were printed with ABS at 230 and PLA at 200. I advised 210 on PLA and 245 on ABS as per instructions. Perhaps this didnt translate.

You hadnt stuck the plate down. It comes with adhesive backing specifically for adhering. Use without adhering will result in print failure. This is stated in instructions.

If you havent pulled it off yet, maybe retry with the advice above and netfabbing the stl, you might get improved results. If you do you will have wider material compatibility with PrintBite than PEI (ie Nylons PC's TCPTE etc)
Good luck!

Temps you read from your printing sw interface are only ever going to be relative not absolute, so your 245 might be someone elses 240 or 250.

I only have universal cleaner at home. I guess it is pure Aceton, but I am not sure.

Use a pure window cleaner like Windex...

Normally I use window cleaner or aceton-free brake cleaner to clean the surface.

Does anyone have any indications how PrintBite behaves with capacitive proximity sensors? I am thinking about installing one and would be interested in your experiences. What about inductive sensors with aluminium under the PrintBite - would that be likely to work?

Unfortunately I dont use or have experience of bed levelling sensors however there are some comments about it in this thread being used with inductive sensors.
I notice ElmoC's comment above - I can supply 0.5mm thickness if it will help, otherwise is it possible to add or increase a Z axis offset?
