compare light boxes

[pmmgeo]

Hi...has anyone purchased the SU light box? How about one from Michaels? I'm planning on buying one but would like opinions about whether the SU light box is worth the money or would a cheaper one at Michael's do the job...thanks!

If the one at Michael's is The Light Box by Porta-Trace, then they are one and the same.

Thanks for your reply. I'll check it out. Figured I could wait for another coupon to come out in their flyer and then spend more on stamps, ink etc., at SU...also, I looked at your gallery...you do some good work!!!

I am always in favor of saving money to spend more on stamps! So, the cheapskate that I am went for the CHEAP lightbox from Walmart that was only around $10.00 and is very small (manybe 5 x 7 ish) and I don't like it at all. The light source is not evenly distributed so the only place on the surface that I can see well enough to trace is in the square inch directly above the bulb.

One day I will learn that you get what you pay for!

Somethings you just can't skimp on. I haven't found one better than the SU box.

I used the Stampin Up light table at a stamp camp and was thinking about buying one. Then I found one at Michael's called the LightTracer by Artograph. I purchased it with a 50% off coupon and paid $21.00 for it. To me, I can see no difference. Hope this helps!!

Hi Stampinvicki...thanks! I saw one at Michaels and do not recall the name of the lightbox but it's about 42.00. Thought I'd wait for those great coupons...appreciate your imput.

It's got to be one in the same. There was a 40% off Mike's coupon in my sales circular today. It's good starting tomorrow (4/3).
