I prefer the butterfly by riggs as the imp I get is more visible to me in a less then average lighting situation.

Ooops... I'm sorry
I didn't realize. I just saw a very very outdated website, and I'm reluctant to give my credit card information to a website like that. I should have looked into it better. My apologies!! |

I recently received my first Butterfly pads from John Riggs (actually a Butterfly, a Papillion and Superfly). These are my first "real" impression pads. I've not used Psypher or the ParaPad.
I'm absolutely loving the Riggs pads! Excellent impressions, and a wide variety of writing implements can be used - pen, pencil, even ungimmicked Sharpies. If you buy pads from John: - Take his warnings seriously about the wait times. John's a busy working professional and makes these items as he has time available. - These are literally home-made. I think they're excellent, but be ready for little things that only you'll see that make that evident (e.g., raggedly-torn tape, etc.). - Get John's DVD on the use and maintenance of his pads. Worth it 4 times over, I think. Did I mention that I kind of like these pads?
...in the Land of the Free, and the Home of the B'Wave.

Another admittedly unsolicited vote for the ParaP*d. There is no better device for all lighting situations and all pen "pressures."
Riggs imps are very good. I use mine primarily for drawing dupes. I have found Psypher to be of very limited use...so I don't use it. David

You did!!! I re-read the thread. Then you went and got all spoiled with Parapad - the ultimate imp pad. German engineered perfection. It really is. I have both and I agree 1000% that Parapad is the ultimate driving machine - so really there is no comparison. But for me Psypher does what I need it to do when I need it... and so for a starter mentalist or someone who doesn't want to shell out the extra $$$, Psypher is a pretty cool little tool. Now I feel better Ahhhh.....

Brett, Brett, Brett...
If you're driving a Yugo and someone puts the keys to a Porsche into your hands, do you close your eyes and hop back into the Yugo? David PS: The last time someone waggled a finger in my face I bit it off. OOPS...that case is still before the court. I should have said "The last time someone waggled a finger in my face I ALLEGEDLY bit it off."

OUCH!
Love you David I wonder if anyone knows what a Yugo is these days? That was one hot car.

Not trying to me 'smart' but the cheaper types of pads are more or less disposable. So to use the car analogy, do you want one really nice Porsche or a garage full of Yugos and Ladas that you can just abandon at will?
I've not seen the Paralabs pad so I'm only following others' judgements that it truly is the equivalent of a Porsche I do, however, have a box full of (Tommy Pad and Scanner) Yugo/Lada parts. T. |

Well, Ted, just in case someone is asking - please give me advice :
Should I recommend either a 'Porsche-like' set of UK-made ESP-Cards for a comparatively higher price ... ... or should I rather recommend the questioner any of the cheaper 'Yugo-alternatives' - I mean, with a little research you may get at least two or even more sets of the cheaper ones for the price of a 'Porsche-set'. When I'm asked the next time, Ted, which ones should I recommend? Just asking, ... My Granny used to say (forgive me the clumsy translation) "Buying cheaply - buying doubly!" - and while this obviously may be an illegitimate broad statement, I found a truth in her words more often than not ... as my Granny was a wise woman. Cheers Th. |

Granny's usually are.
I once asked mine "Granny, when you was little girl, what did pterodactyls look like?" She kept wisely silent as I recall. Steve |

I have to agree that the Para Pad is the Porsche. I too have Tommy pads and other imp devices but the biggest problem with pressure based imp pads is the higher chance of failure. I have had 3 occasions where the tommy pad has failed due to lack of pressure, the para pad will get a perfect impression no matter how lightly they write.
Tommy is cheap and disposable so it is my daily use pad but when I absolutely need to get the imp it has to be the Para Pad. Mark |

For example, p**-sh** work may not need a first class device because, if you get a problem, you could possibly have another go (with someone else). But live work would be a different kettle of fish. As for my recommendation, Thomas? Follow your Granny's advice, of course! T. |
