  • hello, i'm very interested in making my own stamps. is it possible to make your own signs and images with the Ultimate Daylight Stamp Making Kit or the options of printing limited to preset shapes?

    is it possible somehow to apply a graphic sketch that was made by a computer?

  • Hi, The best thing about the kits is the ability to make a stamp from your own artwork. You just need to invert your image (reverse black + white) and print to make a negative. You do get an artwork program on the CD with the kit to make an image or photo into a negative in 3 clicks of a mouse. You can also use any other software program.Once you have a negative, you can make a stamp!

  • I want to make my own artwork and I'm not totally clear on the kind of paper or film to use. Is Imageblack Film something brand specific or is there another name for it? Will regular paper work okay if it is printed on inkjet printer in negative format following the how to instructions? I can't wait to get started!

  • You can use either film or paper. In the kits you get a thin - 45g bank paper. This lets light through faster than ordinary paper. With ordinary copier paper you need to allow 18 minutes on the 2nd exposure. 45g paper is just 10 mins. Paper is ideal as all printers will drop enough ink to make a good negative. Film is recommended for photos + fine detail. imageblack is our brand. It is the film we have found to be best for negative making.

  • Can you control how deep the stamp gets burned, or does it always come out the same depth? Thanks!

  • You can control it to a certain extent with the exposure times. There is a certain amount of resin in each sachet; if you reduce the 1st time by 10 or 20 seconds, you will have a lower "floor" or base to your stamp + more resin available to make a deeper relief when you do the main exposure. The best thing is to call the office and talk to Paul about what you would like to do + he will advise you in detail.

  • where can i buy this kit at?

  • this is very helpful thank you

  • Thanks. Very helpful.

  • Yes. Note that for very thin lines or dots or photo stamps, we recommend using imageblack film for making your negative (rather than thin paper which is fine for most other images).
