I bought both the Gemini and the Foil Press. I have to say that it has been very disappointing experience with your products. My first Gemini I have to return for replacement because from day one it didn't work. I received the second one, so far so good, but is very noisy and plates even I turned them every time they warp very quickly and badly! I would have to say that they bow more than warp in the course of 4 months. I know that plates do warp, but not to this extent. Your foam mat is very thin and I was only able to use it once to emboss and it wrinkled and almost torn. Sad to say but is not the best quality. I bought the foil press in June but did not use use it until August. The results were awful. I followed to the t the directions. The platform warped and it broke in a corner when I put it through the Gemini. I tried to return it to HSN for a refund but it was too late. I contacted your company. They did send me a label and I got the foil press back. Once again, I give it a try. I followed the instructions, I went to YouTube to make sure I wasn't making any mistakes. Because I have the Gimini instead of the Gemini Jr, I noticed that the extension plate moves a lot, even if I tape it. As I passed the platform through the machine, the extension plate moved so much that again it broke the corner. The other thing is working with other company's dies, the majority don't work, it has to be Crafter's companion die or the results are awful. I am so disappointed with the foil press. I bought it because big name bloggers recommended your machine better over others. I would it be better off with the other companies foil press that would not be so expensive. Your products are expensive to have this much problems. I like the Gemini despite the performance with the plates and the rubber mat, but I was not impress with foil press. I would not recommend it to anyone.
