I'm just now starting my Better Press game. I'm always a bit late to the party. But your video was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for always providing clear, unbiased information.
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!
What amazing demo and thanks for asking for future products. This is very exciting. Thanks to all the crafting geniuses who work so hard to bring us new products.
I absolutely love your scientific approach in experimenting with different cardstocks, and then with inks. I also appreciate how you show another use for the BetterPress Letterpress Plates. Thanks for another great video!
I have been on the fence about the BetterPress but this has made me more confident to try it. Thanks for all the information and for all the options Altenew has added to the industry.
This was the best video I have seen on the comparisons of the inks and papers. I love your coloring so much! I’m new to your videos and want to see more. Your ideas on what the companies can do in the future are also so on spot. Thanks for doing all the different mediums to see what works best too. Fantastic job!
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❤
I always am thankful that you take the time to experiment and give such a detailed synopsis. This is such a great tool and I like that it has options. The cards looked so lovely too! Cheers Lisa
Thank you so much for the research! I love the comparison of the materials you used and well as how you presented your findings! I also appreciate to collaboration between Altenew and Spellbinders. I am always impressed with how well the companies work together and support each other. Great video!
Thank you for sharing your techniques with us ❤ And for troubleshooting so many different types of items on the press plate!! So many things to consider! Good luck with all of your endeavors.!
Oh man, Jaycee!! 😮 I LOVE the scientist in you coming through with your full on testing options with the system! ♥️👏🏻♥️👏🏻 Thank you - it was really interesting to see those demonstrations and hear your thoughts. ❣️
Thanks Jaycee! I have watched numerous videos on TH-cam 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!
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. 😉👋
Fabulous demonstration, comparison, examples and as always stunning cards. Very excited to see Altenew join with Spellbinders in this and completely agree with your wishes and wants and “putting it out in the universe”!!
I always get excited when I see your name Jaycee! Your work is amazing! Love love love what you did here as always. So many helpful ideas. Thank you so much. Great job👍❤️
WOW! I totally understand the Better Press system and now I am certain that I want one...along with everything else in Altenews December Release. Lovely card Jaycee. Thank you for sharing!!
Hello Jaycee, I have learned so much from you today by watching this one video. I am astounded by your thorough research and appreciate your elucidating your viewers with clear and concise explanation. Thank you, buddy. A new sub here!
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!
I love that Altenew is releasing plates also. So much better that when hot foiling started out. The plates were very expensive and there weren’t very many. Thanks for the video. I love the better press
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!
Jaycee, I love your methodical testing methods on these items!!! It really gives me much to consider! Your cards are stunning too! Thanks for the inspiration :)
You always, always have the best explanations and great tips for Altenew's awesome products. I love the cards you make and these are no acception. 6 cards and so much inspiration! Thank you!
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.
Outstanding presentation! Thank you for your research. You answered several questions and as a result I purchased the two plates currently available from Altenew. Look forward to more from you. Have an amazing day, Thanks.
You rock!Your knowledge, your presentation, your examples, altogether a great video that I am saving and will refer to often for inspiration and technique.
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.
Thanks so much for this video Jaycee, it really helps with the comparisons and examples you showed us. I just recently purchased my BetterPress and now feel like I can experiment using your examples. Please keep your wonderful videos coming!😁
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the detailed, informative examination of the Betterpress system! So glad you tried different papers and inks; we all want to know whether we can use stuff we already have. So very helpful.
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!
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.
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!
#manifesting gotta throw it out in the universe. some Holiday items are out for preview at Spellbinders right now (non-affiliate link): spellbinderspaperarts.com/collections/july-2023-new-arrivals I think they'll be available on the 10th.
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 😊
Wow Jaycee! What a great demo, just full of knowledge and inspiration. After watching your demo, I think I need to purchase the "Betterpress". Thank you! ❤
Jaycee, I can always count on you to do the research and for precise guidance - OH, and gorgeous examples, too! Stunning results using the Altenew Betterpress plates to hot foil! I have always admired the look of letterpress - thank you, Altenew for adding these plates to their incredible collections of products! =]
🤩Thank you for this video Jaycee! You are a wonderful teacher, your scientific background shines through the experimenting with the system, I truly appreciate the time you took to create this extraordinary content. I still have my BPS in the box 🫣, but after watching your video I will get it out and start playing with it. I as well hope to see a full Press plate/stencil/stamp.die ensamble from Altenew in the near future. Happy holidays!
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. ;)
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!
Thanks so much for your analysis!!! You answered almost every question that I had, so now I'll know if it's just me when something doesn't work! 😂 Also, I appreciate how concise you were, in order to get as many questions answered as possible. No kidding, I've had a couple of weeks of jotting down questions while I was waiting for the system to release & for my craftroom to be ready for use. As I watched you, I was able to just scratch stuff off and take notes!! Incredible amount of info in a short amount of time!
I'm just now starting my Better Press game. I'm always a bit late to the party. But your video was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for always providing clear, unbiased information.

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 ;)
Oh my goodness, you have been very industrial!! You made a huge amount of experiments and it was very helpful!! Gorgeous samples, all!
I always am thankful that you take the time to experiment and give such a detailed synopsis.
