I just wanted to say that this was an amazing response to questions I have also been pondering. Thank you!

when my press lived in my former home (a townhouse i rented with wood floors), i was very concerned about the damage it could potential cause and the money i would be charged for said damage. i knew i wanted to have a metal tray constructed for it, so i contacted a local sheet metal company to fabricate one for me…they did a fabulous…[Read more]

I am on a mac and I use the whole creative suite to put my ideas in the computer. I will either start in the computer using Illustrator to draw my idea or I will start with a sketch that I scan into Photoshop. I will then convert my art into bitmaps to bring into Illustrator.

I have cork floors and I have my Golding on a small 3″ high platform that is on wheels. The wood platform is just large enough to hold my press.

Jodi,If your client doesn’t want a super-thick printmaking paper, there’s also the option of already-sticky paper. Neenah and Mohawk make a label stock in several lines.Cheers!Kelly

Oh no, Jodi– it’s SUPER easy!! :)I have the 5inch one. Grab yourself some online 40% off coupons from Michaels {or ACMoore} and purchase 1 with the PERMANENT adhesive cartridge {use another 40% off coupon here since I think they’re like $45?}.Heres a youtube video of some chicks using it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdI3_P76yEkOnce you make…[Read more]
