TAC Discontinues Wood Altogether

[StampingSpud]

Hi All!

FYI - The Angel Company has announced that as of the 2005/6 Catalog that's coming out soon, ALL WOOD stamps are being discontinued. They're also discontinuing all their rollagraph wheels and a number of TAC ink colors.

Here's a link to the latest info: http://www.stampinwithcheri.com/DISCONTINUED_INKS.ht

I'm not surprised that they are discontinuing their wood mounted sets. I only buy the unmounted ones from the TAC. Thanks for sharing the information.

Take care, Brenda

Well that sucks big time.... I was waiting for the new TAC catolog to come out to order! I have a preference for wood only!

I'm so sad to see those wonderful jumbo wheels from Magenta, P. Best, etc. go!!

sigh...they say "change" is good...so bring it on!

Do you think Stampin' Up! will ever offer the unmounted version? It seems like the trend is leaning that way. I know they used to offer foam stamps several year ago, but those were horrible. I think I would like the unmounted rubber on acrylic blocks.

You can still get Magenta, Paula Best, and other wheels (standard & jumbo) from the folks who manufacture them -- Clearsnap.

Go to www.clearsnap.com and follow the prompts. I've ordered from them before and been very pleased with the service.

I like wood mounted, I sure hope SU doesn't discontinue wood. Now I'm even more happy that I didn't sign up with TAC!

Didn't Shelli say last year that SU! had no plans to ever go unmounted and discontinue the wood?

Not to turn this into a mounted vs. unmounted, but last year I decided to go unmounted only. Cheaper, easier to store, etc. I hated it. I was so surprised by how much I "need" to see the stamp image on top of the wood when I stamp. Kind of weird, but that's just me. I ended up selling almost all my unmounteds.

I stamp the back of my Gray mounting foam with stazon before I put them together. It makes it WAY easier to see and make sure you have your image right. Just my 2 cents.

[sillyscrappergirl]

I have TAC and SU! stamps and love them both. I say it's just personal preference!

[txblueyes]

I actually prefer mounted stamps, but I have found that sometimes...I just NEED to see exactly where I am placing the stamp, and of course the acrylic blocks are great for that.

I'm a wood mounted girl myself! I love them! When I want to see where I'm going to stamp something, I just use the stamp-a-ma-jig. That thing is great!

[kathyt99]

I really prefer the wood except with the alphabets. You just can't beat CTMH acrylic alphabets.

I believe she did.

Personally, I'm a die-hard wood mount fan.

DIE HARD wood girl here too! I even tried to make myself love acrylic as recently as last night. I can't do it! Wood just does it for me, baby!

I am a unmounted girl here. I love SU stamps, but I don't mount them on wood. I love TAC stamps too, and have never bought wood from them. I do have lots of stamps still on wood, and won't change that, I'm sure!
