Yet another stamp positioner

I’m kind of interested in this one. I did preorder the small TH since I have had good luck with the larger one. I like that you could have several plates loaded up for layer stamping. I also like the idea of no bumpers, a foam mat, and a grid on the bottom. Those seem like pluses. I’ll be interested to see the reviews. It would be the end of my Misti for sure if this performs well and is reasonably priced. I didn’t get the VP guy saying that hinges make stamping inaccurate. I haven’t found that to be true at all. Inaccurate is when I don’t scheck to make sure if my paper shifted.

WRMK has done a great job on the gadget side of this industry. The quality isn't always the best, but usually adequate for the price. I have more than a few WRMK "unitaskers", as Alton Brown calls single-function kitchen items. I have my eye on the mini envelope board, even though I'm sure I could make little envelopes a multitude of other ways.

This looks like a really innovative idea. I'm happy with my TH press, but I like the idea of extra plates for layered stamping. On one of Tim Holtz's new large stamps, he mentioned that it would come on it's own hinged plate. Looks like this is a trend we'll see more of.

I have the Tim Holtz platform, and I have had “imperfect” impressions before. It’s something I thought about before buying the platform. With the hinge, one side of the stamp (the side closest to the hinge) will always touch the paper before the other side. If I put too much pressure too early, that side of the image has a heavier look. You can get around that with practice. I’ve notice stamping further away from the hinge gives me a better impression. 

I don’t stamp enough to have two stamp positioners. I almost wish I had waited. This positioner looks like it would work really well for me. Having said that, I may have still gone with the TH positioner because...well...Tim Holtz. 

I agree. 

I did not know TH was selling stamps with a hinged plate.   Interesting.

Also interesting that hinges are causing darker images on one side.  That makes sense.  I thought when the WRMK demo guide used the word inaccurate he was alluding to a slight shift of the image being stamped.  

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. I assumed it has a hinge so that it doesn't have to be removed from the block. I'll be interested in hearing exactly how it works. It's a pretty stamp.

Oh, thanks. I must not have checked that one out thoroughly!

Just an FYI if anyone is interested. The price of the WRMK stamp press will be 34.99 and extra plates will sell for 9.99. So far I haven’t been able to find a source that is selling them yet but that is the price.

Fiskars had something like this years ago. Fiskars didn't have the pegs, but it did have the removable top plate and I think the legs were foam.

I had seen Fiskars press at Archivers!

After spending a ton of money to get a TH positioner *right away* when the whole lawsuit thing happened I think I avoided this post! But now, looking at the video, this is interesting. I find the TH press a little awkward - maybe too big? I just feel like it takes up a ton of space when I'm using it. Maybe I'm positioning it in the wrong direction on my desk but anyway, it feels awkward. And I definitely have issues with thin stamps not printing evenly. Mot much of an issue with big bold stamps, but the differing heaviness of fine lines is noticeable sometimes. I might have to check this out. Darn, WRMK. $.$ They are pretty clever at coming up with gadgets.

Michaels ran a sale and has these Advanced presses in stock. A friend of mine grabbed one in WA with a 40% off coupon and picked up three extra plates for me on sale also. I think the deals on these will just keep coming. I am completely sold on mine. I never thought I would say I like anything better than my travel platform but this this is the one for me. I think I will be careful cleaning this one and just use a baby wipe instead of alcohol. There is printing on the mat so I use a grid paper just to save making a mess. Actually using up all my old Misti paper pads. If you are a leftie no hinge means being able to work with the rulers right side up.

The Misti lawsuit has been dismissed. In looking it up I got the idea that the judge dismissed it. I do know that without prejudice means it can’t be brought up again. I’m copying the info I saw but I have no legal understanding about what this all means. I’m into my fourth week of vacation in the middle of nowhere so I have time on my hands to look up silly stuff.

Awww. I hope they are not out of stock. Our Joann is so small that they don’t stock them so I had to go online. I hope your Michaels has them. I noticed yesterday that Joann had them back in stock online but they bonked up the shipping to 4.99. Sometimes they offer free shipping on the weekends. It changes every few days with them.

It looks interesting. I can see the appeal.

However, since my Tim Holtz stamp positioner seems to work just fine for me, I really can't justify buying another one right now.

If I did buy another stamp positioner, it would be the one that lets you lift the top plate and move it down one section at a time, to make rows in an even pattern. I want that one because it does something the others don't. I think it was Stampin' Up's version. Is it more available now, or still special order at certain times?
