How Long Does It Take?
It takes only a few minutes to take impressions of
your child. The rest of the work is done by us in our studio. The finished
product is delivered back to our host store in 6-8 weeks. We will call you when
your order is ready for pick-up.

Is There An Age Limit?
There is no age limit. We've printed infants as
young as 31 hours old and adults as old as 90 years. However, there is a size
limit. Usually by the age of five years we can only fit a handprint on the
plaque.

Can You Print My Baby While He/She Is Asleep?
Yes, we can print sleeping infants, but they
will usually wake up during the printing.

How Do You Manage To Make A Good Impression?
We have several years experience printing thousands
of children. Besides purchasing a lasting keepsake of your child, an important
part of what you're paying for is our ability to get a good impression. We make
the process easier by using a soft, moist clay. It's also easier to print
children with full tummies, toys, treats, and plenty of rest.

When Do I Pay For The Print?
Your payment is due at the time of printing.
Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover accepted.

What Happens If You Are Unable To Print My Child?
We have a three strikes law. If after three attempts we are unable to print your child,
we will ask that you bring the child back when he/she is a little older.
Typically, children between the ages of 18 months to three years are the most
difficult to print. However, it is rare that we are unable to get a good
impression.

Can I Buy A Gift Certificate?
Yes, gift certificates are available. You may
purchase any amount you wish. Be sure that the recipient is in our service area
in Los Angeles or Ventura County.

What Happens If My Print Is Damaged?
We take great care to ensure the quality of your
print. However, on rare occasion a print is subject to defects due to clay
discolorations, glaze anomalies, contaminants, misfiring, etc. If your order is
damaged during the production, we will give you the choice of a full refund or
a reprint.

Is This Safe?
Absolutely. The process is completely safe
and pain-free.

How Do I Attach The Photo?
When you receive your finished plaque, just tape
your favorite photo on the back so that it shows through the cut-out. Your
photo is not needed at the time of printing. We do not supply the photo or
attach it. Our photo cut-outs accommodate a wallet-size photo.

What are My Choices?
You have six decisions to make:
1) Color - your choice of pink, blue, green, lavender, yellow, and natural (cream).
2) Shape - your choice of hearts, rounds, squares, ovals & rectangles.
3) Decoration - your choice of moons, stars, flowers or a combination.
4) Impressions - how many impressions do you want - hand, foot, one of each or all
four? There may be size limitations.
5) Photo Cut-Out - do you want a cut-out for a photo? (extra charge)
6) What do you want written on the plaque? We can write your child's name, age,
birthdate, etc. We can also write a special message such as "Happy
Father's Day", etc. Of course, how much we can write is limited by the
size of the plaque and how much space is available. We try to accommodate all
requests.

How Durable Are The Plaques?
Because the plaques are made of kiln-fired ceramic, they are far more durable than
Plaster of Paris plaques or air-dried clay. However, treat them as you would
your ceramic dinner plates. Remember that your keepsake is not a toy and should
always be handled with care.

How Can I Best Display My Cherished Keepsake?
Your plaque will have a ribbon with a loop in
the back so that you can hang your keepsake on a wall. We also offer lovely
wooden plate stands that you can purchase. Some of our customers tell us that
they display their plaques in shadow box frames.

Do I Need To Make An Appointment?
If you are planning to have your child printed
while we are at one of our host stores, then there is no need to make an
appointment. All orders are taken on a first come, first serve basis. However,
if you would like to arrange a printing at our studio in Camarillo, please call
us to make an appointment. Studio printings are done only on weekdays.
