Can embossing folders purchased from anyone be used in this machine or does it only use the ones produced by Xyron?

Danetta, if you are familiar with the "Xyron" sticker machines--than the "Xyron Creatopia" is also a sticker making machine for 12x12 sheets of cardstock. It is not the "Craftwell Ebosser" which does embossing...etc. I hope this helps.

I am not sure of your question but will give you the only answers that I have. The embossing plates are easy to slip in and slip out of the embosser device - they lock into place using two square holes that hold and lock in two protruding metal parts. This is not a super sturdy device and it requires a lot of strength (to squeeze the embosser) to ensure that the embossed impression is adequate. I am not able to picture your needs but I doubt you could mount your own dies as the mounting structure is precise - in other words the holes line up with the pieces of metal that stick out. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

I am sorry but, I can not answer your question. All I know is that it works in my old Rotex embosser.

Yes I did. In the end I bought the v700. Its a great machine for microfiche or any transparent film for that manner. Its easy to make scans that are so high res that they are physically bigger than Photoshop can open. At the time I don't think I could find anything better without spending a few thousand more. Its been 3 years since we got it so they probably have a new model, but this one is perfect for our fine-art reproduction needs.If you have more questions shoot us an email to sales at HistoricMapWorks dot comVisit the website in the link if you want to see some scans of maps that were previously on microfiche.Best Yes I did.

I do not know that. I use it with Embroidery Digitizing. Sorry. I use Windows OS.

The two types of packs are for making two different things. Image packs are for making "rubber" stamps. Embossing packs are for making embossing plates to use with your die cutting machine (if you have a Cuttlebug or similar die cutting machine). You only need both types of packs if you want to make both things. The main film most people use is inkjet film. (It has to be Teresa Collins Stampmaker inkjet film. Other brands of inkjet films are not the same thing, so they won't work.) The reverse film is totally optional. Normally, you just print your negative directly from the computer onto the inkjet film, and that's all you need to make stamps. When you print your negative, you have to reverse all your blacks and whites in the image. If for some reason you can't reverse the blacks and whites, then that is when you could choose to use the reverse film. I've never used it myself, but I just read about it. I believe reverse film is used after printing a POSITIVE (not a negative) with the regular inkjet film - you place the positive over the reverse film and expose it to light. The reverse film will darken in all the areas that receive light, thus creating a negative from your positive film. You can also use reverse film with die cut paper shapes or dried flowers, etc. to make a negative - no computer required. Anyway, hope that helps. I've only been using my TC Stampmaker since last spring, but it's awesome. You really can make store-quality stamps with it. It took me two tries to get the hang of it though - I wasted a couple of imagepacs. Have fun!

Yes, if you design something on your computer, you can upload it to the machine and it has several built-in fonts where you can embroider names or initials.

You just order what you want the embosser to say. The embosser is made of some kind of metal. You put the paper in between the "plates" or metal and there you have it is embossed! My son bought it and loves it! He uses it on his books.

I don't have a big shot, so I'm not sure. It's a folder that you put the paper into. It only embossed a 5 x 7 area. If you can use the cuttlebug folders, you can use this. See the spellbinder website for more info.

You can emboss directly onto any paper. The thicker the paper, the less defined the impression will be. But I have embossed onto 65# cardstock & 100# cardstock with no problems.

The Cuttlebug embosses card stock. You put the paper between the embossing folder and the pressure causes whatever the folder looks like onto the paper. Giving a decorative finish. You can also cut shapes with the metal die, such as Spellbinders for flowers or labels to put greetings on.I love my Cuttlebug for making cards. I got mine on Ebay. The machines aren't on sale at craft stores very often but the die and folders can usually be bought with coupons

The Xyron 900 machine is a wonderful craft tool but it is not like the Xyron Creatopia machine which enables you to laminate/apply adhesive to thicker objects. Having used the Xyron 900 for years, I've found that even a double thickness of cardstock will force you to leave an area wider than your item so that you can press the area down to seal. Hope this helps.

you order the embosser, then a rep contacts you via email for your information. it was not entirely clear which style you were choosing, so you should be very explicit. i had an issue with my fonts not being quite straight/linear, and the company replaced my embosser plate quite promptly.

Yes, they do work but you can only use the base and one B plate just like the Big shot. They are thicker than the regular embossing folders and a hard plastic. should lightly mist the paper with water before embossing.

All of sizzix dies are able to be used on the big shot. You can also use the embossing folders as well. Hope that helps.

Yes, I suppose so, but why would you want to do that? You may need it the full length for future texture plates you may purchase. I emboss the full length of cardstock and then just cut the cardstock the desired length/size for the card/project. Hope this helps.

Yes it is all inclusive in the price. After you place an order, you will receive an email the next day asking you to personalize your embosser. You're given several options, like design and font type. It's easy and user friendly.
