Not sure if it’s really gritty. Seems it is to a degree. But more like table salt. I stirred it for a bit and it was pretty scratchy for a while but dissolved entirely after about 2min. I think it’s more water pressure and chemicals doing that job. It sure seems abrasive to coated surfaces, though. I used to put my non-stick pan into the dishwasher. And it wrecked the surface over the course of several months or a year or so. Now I’m not doing that any more and the pan after that lasted me longer. Just my anecdotal evidence, not science… But I’m positive that’s why we’re not supposed to put these things in there. I guess putting a non-stick pan in 5 or 10 times wouldn’t make a noticeable difference, though.
Comment on I tested putting my printsheet in the dishwasher

I’d be more concerned about the abrasive factor of dishwasher soap over time, rather than temperature issues. Dishwasher soap is very gritty since it needs to use that as an abrasive to get food off, rather than someone wiping with a scrub.
Really gonna depend on what type of print sheet as well. If you have a coated sheet, that coating is probably going to get worn off.

Depends on the soap probably, but I don’t think most soaps are like that, they dissolve into the water and the pressure of the jets is the main physical action.
