I love the concept but I still have not achieved the best finished product.  I have tried the \"default\" pressure and \"extra\" pressure.  The \"default\" setting does not give me a solid line every time.  The \"extra\" pressure made my card stock stick to the mat making removal difficult.  And no one ever mentioned that you do not want the foil to accidentally drop onto your mat.  It immediately sticks and all the foil color pulls off and onto your mat.  Regardless of what the spokespersons say, this machine has a learning curve.  While I am getting more comfortable with its concept, my finished product still needs results that meet my approval.
