Such a comprehensive look into all the different options - thanks for doing the hard work so we don't have to!

[@JayceeGaspar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ritzyhag6504]

Also, I always thought Altenew had a whole collection of stamp sets that would be perfect for as ink blocks or letter press plates. It's so awesome to see that they are using the style from that collection & making them into press plates. This has been long-awaited for some of us!

[@carolemck7314]

Gorgeous cards. I like that there are so many different looks from the same basic image. My favorite is the I adore you card with the light pink on the flowers. So pretty!

[@VDUTCHR]

Hi Jaycee. I always look forward to your videos when new product is released. Your are the official Tester/ Researcher for all of us. Thank you for explaining the Better Press system and the Altenew plates. Also, I appreciate your research into the papers, inks, and mediums that work best with the Press. It takes the guess work out of it for us so we don't get so frustrated. I love your wish list at the end of the video. I always know you are going to ask for your Signature Black Cardstock for your gorgeous cards. I hope they all come true❤

[@JayceeGaspar]

I did try to color a panel of the Cotton Card Panel with Jet Black Ink Spray as a quick wash. I'll save that for another video ;)

Fabulous video! Thanks for sharing the paper and ink comparisons and showing the versatility of these products.

[@mellightbody8212]

Another fabulous video. I’ve just bought the better press system and I think I’ll invest those plates as opposed to the glimmer plates since both work. Also, yes! I love when the stamp companies work together. That’s always a win for us crafters.

[@karenf.6367]

Thanks Jaycee! I have watched numerous videos on KZbin regarding the Betterpress and so far, yours has been the most comprehensive. Like you, I am very happy to see the two companies working together and am looking forward to future releases for the Betterpress!

[@rettalutte9666]

Jaycee, thank you so much for this indepth video about the new Better Press as well as the new plates from Altenew. I am afraid I am one of those who always need the next best thing, but I had hoped I could wait for my birthday in November for this one. That is not going to happen! Your video was so helpful and your cards are amazing! Thank you so much!

[@JayceeGaspar]

Maybe add more BetterPress Press Plates for your birthday? LOL! I hope you enjoy once you receive your system! Thank you for watching!

[@pamelasertich9850]

What a great review video! You covered all the bases indeed. I was looking around on Altenew's web site this morning and just happened on to their new dies for the Better Press before I even saw videos on them. I was so excited. Thank you for such a great review and demo on them.

[@JayceeGaspar]

Thank you for watching! Hope this helped.

[@glendadeah1218]

Jaycee, I am loving my betterpress system. I tried it out with 140lb black cotton watercolor paper with metallic ink and the results were amazing! Never thought to try foil on the cotton paper and now cant wait to do it.

[@JayceeGaspar]

That's great to know I'm going to have to look into this paper!

[@karenn906]

Wow, thanks for doing all this testing for us. Great examples.

[@JayceeGaspar]

Thank you!

[@kayfurnish8715]

Thanks for all the comparisons, Jaycee! I'm so excited to see what Altenew has in store for us in regards to the BetterPress. I'm especially looking for some great Christmas plates for my new system. Like you said, you might as well ask!

[@JayceeGaspar]

I absolutely love these new Better Press plates and the Better Press! Beautiful cards❤

[@christyfree7808]

Beautiful Jaycee! Thanks for all the Better Press tips. I had wondered why the hot foil plates won’t work. 🤔

[@kareneaton433]

Great information, I like seeing all the comparisons and love the loo of the Altenew plates

[@karenwalker810]

My Betterpress System is on its way to me. Finding this video has been the treat of the day! Thanks so much for all the research you did and your very clear explanations and comparisons. I learned so much, and I'm sure I'll be back to watch it all again!

[@emmaschulte4784]

Jaycee, loved this video! I have had mine a few weeks and haven’t yet used it. I feel equipped to do so now that I have watched your video, these are all things I would have tried and possibly still might. I love the requests for more color ways to color the impressions. Until your video I had no idea that Altenew had produced BetterPress plates also. I love when companies work together to grow the crafting options rather than sue other companies that improve on their products…. Ultimately that only hurts the crafters. So proud of Altenew and Spellbinders for communicating and improving our experience. I am an avid crafter and purchase many, many products from both Altenew, Spellbinders and many others monthly. Thank you for providing a very thorough, detailed and interesting review. I liked and subscribed also. 😉👋

[@pjPammer]

Great tips for the Betterpress system. Love the new plates at Altenew.

[@danyelledillon3605]

Wow, Jaycee I love your video! Such nice, detailed, instructions. I appreciate all your hard work in demonstrating for us. Wow such professional looking results! The Betterpress is at the top of my wish list. My birthday is this month so I’m hoping to get it as a present. Thank you so much for showing us all different kinds of experiments 😊

[@JayceeGaspar]

OH Happy Birthday month! Enjoy!

Wow! Thank you Jaycee, for a great in-depth overview! Your coloring techniques are amazing!

[@TeresaRogers-sv9jz]

Thank you so much for walking through all the things you found on the better press very informative!

[@marymakinen3120]

Thank you. I did not know Altenew was on board. Exciting to know.

[@bertas-cards]

Thorough demonstration Jaycee. Beautiful cards panels as well. I did experiment with mine and was able to color with my Olo markers and the Saffron Archival ink with no bleeding or smearing of the Saffron ink ( let the panel sit overnight before coloring) This new tool has so many possibilities. Love that we have 2 sources for BetterPress plates. I too am wishing for something besides flowers. ;)

[@JayceeGaspar]

Thank you for sharing your tips! According to Spellbinders, the BetterPress Ink is formulated similarly to Archival Ink from Ranger. I bet that's why it works so well!

[@kiwisunshine9631]

Thank you for these great tips! I got my Spellbinders Better Press yesterday, and am enjoying it so much. Many thanks for a great video!
