FISKARS, Here is my take, what’s yours?
July 21st, 2008
Fiskars introduced a new product at CHA called the “Push and Print Stamp Factory.” It will retail for about $40. You layout any of your acrylic stamps on the 3 x 5 acrylic block and place it in the gadget along with a Fiskars brand stamp pad (12 colors to select from.) Then in one motion you press down and it inks and then stamps.
One benefit is that you would assumedly apply even pressure every time with no more over inking. For the experienced stamper this may not be any perceived value. For the novice stamper it may, but would they rather buy a $40 gadget or buy $40 more in stamps?
I think their most obvious customer is the semi-professional crafter. If you were doing limited editions and selling them on Etsy or eBay, or selling custom invitations and stationary then this gadget is for you! The question is, are there enough of you out there? Will you be adding this product to your wish list?

I love the concept of this – but I’m really not sure how much I would use it. And I have a ton of ink pads – and those colors coordinate with my cardstock and ribbon – so only being able to use their select few colors is a turn off for me. But I will say, everything has to have a starting point and I believe this could turn in to something really awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!

i can see myself buying this because i make a lot of invitations thru the year (somehow, i am always the designated invitation person for all my fam. gatherings), and it would be wonderful to get a perfect impression everytime. however, i do wish this worked with ALL inks.

Hmmm.. probably not something I’d invest in for me. I’d rather spend the $$ on more stamps!

I just can’t see where I would use this. Course I’m just a beginner stamper..and could use that $40 to buy me stamps and feel like I was getting a better deal for my money!
