The stamp press does come in two sizes. The original stamp press has a 4"X6" surface for stamping and has removable layout plates. You can switch out the layout plates, which is something you'll like if you want to save your design for later while your working on another design.
Fiskars later released the Compact Stamp Press. This has a stamping area of 3"X5". It does not have a removable layout plate.
Both these systems are designed to be used with unmounted stamps. A stamping mat or some type of cushion is an absolute must with the stamp press. Because you are stamping a large area, there is simply just more room for error in terms of ink distribution as a result of pressure (or lack of it). The stamping mat and proper pressure will help ensure that you get a good image when you press down.
It is a great tool, particularly if you have a multi-stamp design and/or if you are producing more than one card (like when you are making holiday cards, invitations, etc.).
