    I have one :)  It's pretty much awesome, but it does take a little while to "get the hang of it".

    I've only tried with 8.5 x 11" sized images since that's the biggest sized transparency my printer can handle.  The emulsion sheet is an 11 x 14" size..though you can theoretically use the whole screen size by using liquid emulsion..I haven't tried that yet since it sounds kind of messy, lol.

    Usually you just use the little sheets that come with the yudu..but if you wanted to do it the "old fashioned" screen print way, you could get some off brand liquid kind instead. It's cheaper, but it kind of defeats the yudu's purpose of being quick and easy :)

    But yeah, if you get one (and you should! they are so much fun!), just know that you can buy different brands of inks and things..it's soooo much cheaper for supplies that way.

    and it's similar to a gocco, but right now they screen mesh size is too big to use on paper products. It only really works for fabric, but there's promises of a paper-friendly mesh size soon...*hopes*

    I think they are on sale at Michael's right now for like, $229?  If you think of it as in investment, it's not so bad ;)

    @penga: it started because i was in there on a daily basis and i asked if they were hiring and they were like yeah and i was like do you get a discount and after they told me how much i have pretty much been using my check to fund my crafting habit.

    maybe after the wedding when we are starting a family I'll suggest that I quit my job and work part time at Michaels or Hobby Lobby for a little extra income lol
