2 questions: I am planning on using this to be stamped on - do you think the ink will stay on? Do punches work on this paper?

No, I don't think stamp will work on this... is kind of "krispy"... Not a regular face... I've punched it and worked ok for my purpose but if you plan to punch a lot of it be aware that it can ruin your punch! After punching A LOT (like 200-300) I have to replace my punches... Hope it helps!!!

It's very simple to crank the handle. I don't think you will notice any difference whether you are embossing a border or a full plate. You should only be doing one piece of card stock at time so there will be little to no resistance.

What a great idea! Yes, you could do that, and I'm going to as well! They are large and stiff so I think it will work best with a little padding under the paper you are stamping. I used them to make clay ornaments.

I would think so. The ink pad is separate from the actual stamp so I would assume you could just buy a different colored ink pad.

I used the brand of ink included with the pen and Southworth 24lb parchment paper. I believe that will work. I discovered that some pens like this one acted "weird" on paper that was not completely "smooth". It was almost as if the ink had trouble flowing on paper with microscopic ridges.

I worked for a company that used this bag type. The stamp smeared. If you are a small operation, it's okay. You would have to make sure it had time to dry. If you handle it right away, it would smear. I would recommend not using a stamp on this type of envelope.

The back allows you to move the holes just a tiny bit, but there is no guide or markings to set to punch for different sizes of paper. I measured the punch from end to end and it is 6 inches. So if your paper is 5.5.inches, it will fit. It seems to measure up to the measurements you listed in your question. I used a tape measure to determine.

I used some stamps on it (although I don't know what La Blanche are). It IS fairly smooth, no rough tooth. Its essentially printer paper but cardstock weight. I would add that it is not glossy either.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

I don't have a stamper. I use a guide I made so I can line the label up with the disk. Once it sticks it really sticks!

I used the stamp for a 3 line return address stamp, and really like it. It's a good quality and gets used a lot. Hope that helps.

Not sure about stamps... However, i printed on them using my color printer. You have to turn your image upside down and feed the bags in (one by one) bottom side first. If you feed the bags in the printer from the top of the bag, it sometimes would catch and jam the printer....these bags are awesome and a very cute detail!! I put chips in them for a baby shower and the oil from the chips didn't show at all.

The ink pad should slide out and you just soak it with ink. Not 100% but most stamps are like that.

It may work if you paint the bottom of the stamps (letters only) with a thin brush. When you press the stamp down on ink pad you also get the square outline of the stamp.

Hi,it should work out okay,there will still be some of the Black ink in the nib. When that ink is used,than the Heart of Darkness will flow in right behind it. Heart of Darkness is a very nice ink,dries fast,and it's a nice shade

Not sure what kind of bag you mean so I tried this out on a plastic shopping bag. It is a nice ink pad in general. It stamped nice and clear. It does come inked already but does not come with a re-inker. Just got mine so I don't know how long they last. So far (15 min) it appears to be working and doesn't come off to the touch. Parts of the stamp that were thicker and has more ink bled a little. Thin areas look great!

I just installed the ink and haven't taken it out since. We use similar stamps at work and never remove the ink, and they last for a very long time.
