Help---is there an embossing cart for the jumbo wheel? I see that there is an embossing cart listed for $9.95 but it does not specify what size. Thanks!

That's the regular size, and the embossing ink doesn't do half of what you can do with versamark. What I did for the jumbo was to buy an empty jumbo cartridge and fill it with versamark. It will dry out, but my regular embossing one dried out really fast, too. So store it in something sealed and with the refill.
Buy a blank cartridge and put top boss refill in it. I found that versamark didn't work as well for what I was doing. I was using our white bags with sterling silver EP. I used my finger to rub in the top boss into the roller. I continued doing that all the way around. Once the sponge inside was dampened it started taking the refill without help.
I also found that the first time I used the cartridge it needed reinking for each new bag. (I only did One strip across and around the bag front and back.
I stored it in a plastic baggie and the next project I used it on it was moist when I started but I reinked it and was able to use the roller on my entire project without reinking the cartridge.
If you are looking to use ultra fine embossing the versamark might work as well..but I found thru trial and error that I prefer Top Boss because of its thicker formula.
If you're only doing a short roll, like for a card, just roll your wheel across your Versamark pad until the surface is well covered. I have the jumbo cartridge & Versamark refill but haven't used it yet because I haven't needed to do large items.
