Stamp Costs?
The cost to produce a clear polymer rubber stamp using the StampCritter can be as little as 25 cents a square inch. Compare that to the purchase price of a set of stamps from someone like Hero Arts, and the cost per square inch is 80 cents a square inch or more - a significant savings once you add up all your stamps you now have (and think about what you could have saved :)
What are StampCritter stamps made of?
Our stamps are made of photo polymer, rather than rubber, and are used in conjunction with clear acrylic blocks. By their very nature, photo polymer Stamps are the highest quality polymer stamps you can make. When this is stuck to a shiny surface like that of an acrylic block, the stamps are set as securely as if they are glued onto the blocks. However, when the stamp is finished with, it is simply peeled off its acrylic block and put away, leaving the block ready for the next stamp.
Is the 35 cents a square inch a realistic price for the cost per stamp?
The cost is actually closer to 20 cents a square inch, but we like to be very conservative. We know that not everyone is a perfect stamp maker, and until you're comfortable with the process, we would rather fudge on the high side than to disappoint you :)
Quality of stamps made with the Stamp Critter?
Stamps produced using the StampCritter are of commercial quality, using equipment similar to that in the professional rubber stamping industry.
