How well does it work for embossing?

It does work, however you will need to mix it with a clear embossing powder. It sounds like a pain, but it really isn't. You can get a large bottle of ultra thick clear powder and mix it with these pigment powders and have beautiful results. I have done it myself. I bought this set mistaking them for embossing powders. So with some experimenting, I found you can create beautiful embossing in these great colors. I purchased a set of clear screw top containers to store the mixed powders. I use tiny spoons to scoop the powders and stir. I am still experimenting, but I mix about 2 scoops of clear powder to 1 scoop of the pigment powder, stamp my image, sprinkle my mixture, add some heat and make terrific looking images. These pigments are extremely fine and powdery, so make sure the paper you stamp is static free by using a dryer sheet or one of those special stamping bags to wipe your paper before stamping. If you have used the right mix, you will not have any left over residue and will be able to dump the extra powder back in the container.

It covers both embossing & die cutting. Mine arrived with hinges broken, I just use it the way it is.

its fine glitter. you could try for stamp embossing, but i think you would be wasting whatever glitter you use.

I've used it to make posters, but it has the ability to also make letterhead and newsletters - and most other stationery needs. It took some getting used to before I could effectively work with the text - practice makes perfect. I like Print Artist but I do not use it as much as Hallmark.

I stamped one to ck for you. The ink does not dry but then I applied embossing powder and heated it. It embossed wonderfully. It would be an extra step for you but it will be very impressive!

It cuts as well as embosses. It works just like the Sizzix machine, you can even use some of the sizzix cartridges. The cuttlebug is just slightly smaller than the sizzix.

Yes it works fairly well for crafting. This past winter I set up on my patio while in Texas. It was lovely to be outside sewing. I have a small Janome machine.

Yes it does. It has an embossing tool that can be purchased that has two different size embossing points. The zing is great in that you do not have to use their holders/blades/etc but I've had good luck. Look for videos on youtube, I have seen a couple embossing videos there, although I do not use my machine for embossing. It's a great machine! I use mine every single day and seem to find new uses daily!

I am running Windows 8.1. I used Printmaster to make invitations, place cards, and to address envelopes for a wedding reception. It worked very well, even though it did lock up a few times, causing me to have to restart my computer. So, not perfect, but workable.

In general no, but if you fold up aluminum foil about 4 thicknesses it will emboss it and it will stay. I hope that helps.

You will get a very classic embossed look on white paper. Thick cardstock is a littler harder. You will have to press very tightly - I had to have a strong male do it for me. I also used one for metallic seals - and got a great print - but also hard to press. Works best on a regular 20# paper. Love the embossing - and have bought several.

It works great for the silhouette for stenciling and other silhouette projects. I prefer it to the rolls (easier to use). You need to adjust the blade/cut settings though to get it to cut clean. You can use the silhouette settings for vinyl but you want to adjust it to cut thicker material than you would with the silhouette rolls or it won't remove properly. Hope this helps!

It should, although I don't personally have one, but I've never had any issues with my other machines. Like with any embossing folder, you may have to adjust the thickness with different plates.

It seems to work well for me, I haven't had any issues. Also works well with AirPrint

It depends on the thickness of your embossing folders and the individual papers used. I seem to get the deepest, best impressions when I use it so I end up using it most of the time. Hope this helps! Virginia

We use it as a buffing material for leather work, I would only guess it is not tight enough to stamp - but have never even tried it. Sorry we cannot give you a definite answer on stamping.

The little that I have used this I think it will do good on any metal. It engraves like a normal engraver but is very precise.
