Product Overview
This 4-Pack Inkless Baby Hand & Foot Print Kit lets you take keepsake prints of your new baby's hands & feet without having to put the ink on their soft little hands & feet. It works by using the clean touch pad to transfer the impression onto the paper while the inked part remains away from the baby's hand or foot.
The 4-Pack provides a number of ink pads & impression cards which makes this a great tool to use for taking keepsake impressions of your new baby, creating memories in your baby book, memory box, gift-giving or framing an impression as a work of art. In addition to that it will allow you to have more than one opportunity to get a good impression with all of the additional pads.
Customers Say
Many parents love the clean touch style of this product and report that they find it much simpler to operate than other products with ink pads. Also many mothers/parents feel better about their child's skin making direct contact with the ink when creating the hand prints and foot prints as this product creates an impression.
The reason users really enjoy purchasing multiple pads and cards is in order to have extra chances at capturing a great newborn print. A first-time parent may need to make more than one attempt to obtain a perfect print; therefore, it is nice to know you will be able to try again. The finished prints from these pads and cards are most commonly put into the baby's books, framed and hung in the home, placed in a keepsake box, and given as gifts to relatives.
Common negative comments regarding this product include, the quality of the prints being less than satisfactory due to either smudging or fading if the user applies uneven pressure, the amount of usable print space being less than expected by some consumers, and very few opportunities to reprint a handprint or footprint after using up the ink on the original pad.
