Shiny S-200 DIY Printing Kit 4mm and 5mm Character Height

I love this, it is good for making rubber stamps . Plenty of variety of stamps. Good rubber letters in 2 different sizes. Easy to use.

I quite like this recent purchase of a Shiny DIY Printing Kit, which I bought to stamp details into my booksand project collection.It comes complete with an internal box which holds the type face lettering in two layers. Uppercase and lowercase, with several rows of numerals and the various stops, commas, colons and apostrophes etc., a pair oftweezers is also included and seven plattens to hold the type, plus an ink pad.I found a little difficulty in gripping the letters and fixing them to which ever platten I was using but soon got thehang of it.The kit is approximately 21 CM by 16 CM in size.It comes at a reasonable price and should last a long time so long as you do not lose the tiny letters.

You can make your own design.Press gently when first using as the ink loads on the ridges as well as the letters.

Brought as a cheaper alternative to a typewriter. Works great for short poems or paragraphs. Comes with an array of templates and Tweezers to make the process easier. Ink can be a little smudgy and I imagine it could become quit tedious to print something of length,but worked great for what I brought it for!

The results produced by this printing set are much as you may remember from using them as a child: basic but OK. As you can see from the main photo, there is an impressive amount of parts to this set for the price - but it's a better woman than me who can get it all back into the box when you've finished your printing activities.This type of printing is always fiddly, but I do find this set to be perhaps slightly more fiddly than many; I think this is because the rubber is slightly thinner than the original printing sets.The ink pad is satisfactory, but nothing special. It's not of a quality I would consider worth reinking - but of course ink pads aren't expensive and are available in many different colours anyway (but I certainly wouldn't want to try fitting any other ink pad into this set, given that I can't even get this one back in with everything else).Adequate, but not special.

This is a grown up version of the John Bull stamp set I had as a kid in the 1960s...I use it to create DIY custom stamps for parcels, works really well. It takes a while to set the stamp up but is not difficult. Would recommend to anyone.

Its ok a bit fiddly but does make a good stamp you can change your stamp and design as many times as you want

Very versatile kit, has everything you need to make your personal stamps. I am impressed with the variation and end product. The ink, if you want a permanent non-bleeding finish as I do I would go for another type than in the kit. The ink in the kit will run if you want to apply a liquid finish to a project. Having said that the ink in the kit is great for stamping envelopes, addresses or marking books or general usage of the kind.
