what are the optimum times for stamp making please? On my 1st attempt, i got a fuzzy crown image even though i was very exact &amp; read the instructions twice - (6 secs and 100 secs as paper instructions say). don't want to waste too much money practising!

The time on the directions doesn't work for me either. Does part the crown image wash away when you scrub the gel off under water? If so, then you need more time under the lamp for the first side. I would do 20 seconds instead of 6 and then probably 85 on the back side. Let me know if that works for you. I had to practice a lot to get the right formula and write down everything so you can remember what works.

I simply asked them to write: The Thai Promise Cafe in a nice script. They did as I asked them and I was/am pleased with the results. You will have to ask them if they can duplicate your signature. If they can, I expect their results will please you. When you place your order, tell them that it must be your exact signature or you will return the stamp. Good Luck!

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

I just performed a test to see how it will do. I loaded 5 sheets of heavyweight card stock in the tray. The first one fed and printed fine, the rest jammed. I tried a couple times with no success. It will feed a single sheet at a time through the front feed (what I call the envelope feeder), but it is not reliable at feeding a stack of heavyweight card stock. EDIT******** Well, I'll be darned. Looks like I just need to do a little more reading. I tried what Stephen suggested, (Setting the paper to thick) and it worked fine. My apologies, it works with card stock.

I had no luck with it. I have read several other post that say to file the stamper and use a thick polish. I haven't tried it yet though.

Yes! There are plenty of beautiful star and moon designs. When I try to use the stamps it seems my nail polish dries too quickly and too thin to copy over. I've read that mixing Elmer's glue in the nail polish helps but I haven't tried it tho. I've also heard that there's a special nail polish for stamps too. Hope this helps.

I've heard that there are some polishes other than the specific stamping polishes that work but they need to be thicker and it's pretty much trial and error. I recommend the ones designed for this though.

They came out with another firmware in late July but I haven't printed any envelopes yet to see if it helped any. This is what works for me..... Push the envelope into the slot _lightly_ until you will feel a slight stop. Do NOT push any further! Just use your finger tips at the rear most part of the envelope. Within a few seconds (5 or 6 seconds if the printer is asleep) you should feel the printer grab the envelope, it will only move a very slight amount, maybe 1/8th of an inch, you have to pay attention, then you should be able to print normally. It works for me every time now. I've had mine over a year. I found it out from another poster. After digging into Brothers web site and reading their manuals I actually did see where Brother mentioned the same thing, but I had to do a lot of digging to find it. I think it was buried in their trouble shooting section? Thank goodness I don't print a lot of envelopes, that's actually my only nit pick, well, that and having to open the back of the printer when printing envelopes. Also, I use the cheaper standard envelopes and I found that if you use the handle of a butter knife or another flat utensil and flatten the envelope first it will get rid of 90% of the wrinkles. Hoped it helps....

look into stamps.com software, There is a lot of features in this software. Hope that helps, make sure you have the correct drivers also.

The metal is actually rather thin and soft. A ballpoint pen was not enough, in my experience, but a pointed tool was. I do think metal stamping might work well, but I didn't try it myself so I can't say for sure.

I contacted them and obtained their FAX # and faxed signature to them. They might have contacted me if I would have waited. I am ordering 2 stamps for co-workers; actually ordered last night. Will see how things go this time?

Within about 2 hours of ordering this, the seller e-mailed me with instructions to get it personalized. They have handled it very well, so far (I haven't received the stamp yet).

Sometimes stampers need to be "primed" take the stamp head out and wash it with dish soap and let it dry... that has helped some people. Some others have wiped it with a mr clean magic eraser as well and that has helped. Others have lightly rubbed a nail file across it til the shine was removed. I would suggest starting out just washing with dish soap and go from there.. try it after each method to see if it's picking up.

I just set my date and stamped, it took like one time and it was a perfect date stamp. The pad is pre-inked. Amazon also carries the pre-inked pads. I think the pads last a long time. This is such a sturdy stamper and works incredibly well. Hope this helps out.

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.

We can do it either way, however, if you design your own stamp, please convert the fonts and send us a vector .pdf. Otherwise, we would prefer for you to send your logo and we set up the stamp. You can request a proof when you email us after you place your order. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much. Lisa
