I'm really struggling with them! I'm finding it virtually impossible to get nice clean images with them because they seem to smear and the smear either gets on my stamper head or the image just doesn't pick up crisp. I find the best results are with one of those generic cheap double ended XL (black handle with white head and tiny end) stampers, when I press instead of roll, that seems to stop the smearing but a lot of images won't actually pick up at all that way! The worst culprit is the bright red Joanna, I'm ready to bin it. I cannot for the life of me get a decent pick up from it. It's so thick I can barely get it out, it makes a total mess and I reckon I've used a ton of it just trying to figure out how to make it work! I have tried 3 different scrapers, 5 (!) different stampers and countless image plates. I'll try testing them repeatedly for hours and then switch to my Pueen stamping polishes (I wish I could get them in the UK) and get perfect pick up! I bought 9 of the EDKs and want to cry in frustration! I've been at this for over 2 weeks now and not dared actually using them because they're so consistently rubbish. I look like an idiot trying to stamp an image again and again. Please can someone offer some advice. Xx
