Beautiful stamp but the P and r of my last name never show up very well, and if i push harder to get it show, then the lines around the edges of the stamp show up. The stamp itself not circular like I expected so I have to be careful not to get those lines in the stamp. The stems of the flowers have the same issue, they just dont lay the ink down very well.The second photo is the best most clear stamp I got out of all the books I used it on today!I bought this for my daughter because I knew that she would love it, but I didn't realize how much. It was easy to set up (only have to insert the stamp into the press, and it just clicks into place,) and it comes in a nice pouch for storage.After testing it out on some different thicknesses of scrap paper, I noticed that the two "Os" tend to punch through the paper with full pressure because the text is pretty small around the top edge. Less than full pressure tends to cause the top of the center flower to be less pronounced than the rest of the stamp. (I got the design with the open book with the flowers growing out of it.) I'm being a bit nit-picky here, though.The stamp is easy to use and requires firm pressure to "bottom-out" the grip, but it definitely has a positive stop once full compression is reached. The text is legible (although small) and the overall design is beautiful. The customization was very fast (I think overall, it only took 2-3 days to receive it, including normal shipping.) The customized text font is pretty, although it too, is a bit small for perfect readability. The top and bottom plates align perfectly upon full compression and provide for an even embossing.Overall, if the text (both "standard" and custom) was a bit larger (or maybe more "open") and the top of the flower was a bit more pronounced, I think this would have been a perfect purchase. Please do not let my hyper-critical points deter your purchase of this stamp--it's definitely worth it and if you're thinking about buying one of these, just click "buy now" and you won't regret it.I bought this for my daughter to use in her classroom library. Easy to use and looks great!My first package was lost during delivery. They are answered right away after my first message and send out a replacement. I much appreciate their customer service.The product is easy to use, give out very nice stamp.Awesome B-day gift - My sister loved it!It doesn’t open very much, enough for paper but if you want it for tp, it’s tight after folding , also completely useless woutout the handle, doesn’t make an imprint without it.This stamp is great to stamp my personal items that I bring into my school library.This is just what I needed to keep my books organized! My daughter takes her book to her cousins house all the time and this helps keep everything neatly labeled and organized. Beautiful stamp and we’ll worth it!
