QuicKutz Epic 6 Cutting and Embossing Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have some doubts about buying this tool because of people who have complains, but I find it very useful, and I'm so happy I bought it.
It's so portable and takes almost no space for storing, it cuts very well, no cracking sounds, rolls perfectly, even cuts, and really good embosses.
I've been making some tests with different materials, and find a very thin plastic sheet at home that I put over the paper and when I cut this plastic protects my fleximat from taking marks, so it can last longer.
I really recommend this tool and the cookie cutters are also great.
Very affordable, and you don't need to buy extra plattforms, they're big enough to take big dies.

Lifestyle Crafts Letterpress Combo Kit, with Epic 6 Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After months of waiting for this product to hit the market, I was highly disappointed. The instructions accompanying the combo pack were minimal and did not list more than a few steps. This would not be simple for a newbie crafter. Also, it would have been helpful to explain how to clean all the equipment, but after a few attempts I discovered that mineral spirits did the trick. The outcome of the card I made was far from something I would feel proud of leaving my craft room.
The bottom line is that you do not receive the "reverse embossed" look that you expect to receive. The samples on display at the store were obviously not created by this kit. The instruction manual says that you may add extra "padding" to help increase the depth of the impression, but DO NOT ATTEMPT this. I tried this with 2 sheets of very thin magazine paper and I ended up breaking the Epic 6 machine. It broke the mechanism inside to where you could not crank through anything thicker than the two plates. What a waste of money.
I am glad I could return this to the store or I would be very upset. If you are purchasing this in hopes of creating wedding invitations, save yourself the headache.
Other notes:
- If you buy the starter pack without the Epic 6, be aware that these plates are wider than the Cuttlebug (unsure of other systems).
- The ink is expensive, but necessary. It has a very tacky texture to it. You may find a similar substitute in some some of linoleum block printing ink.
- It really is not explained until you open up the kit, but every time you select a plate you must use the adhesive (some provided) to attach it to one of the plates. This leaves a sticky residue when you are finished.
- There are many consumable pieces to use with this kit, which could eventually be expensive.
