Q1: Do you use paint or ink to take the prints ?
R1 : No. The TintKidz process is unique. Neither paint nor ink. It suffices to wipe the hand or foot with the non coloured baby wipe and to place the baby hand or foor on the supplied paper. The print appears within seconds like magic. It is totally without danger for the baby.
Q2 : Are the wipes without danger for my baby ?

Q3 : How do I choose the colour of the prints ?

Q4 : I don’t know how to use a computer, what do I do ?

Q13 : I don’t have a scanner, what should I do ?
R13 : If you don’t have a scanner, either you place the black prints directly in the frame, either you order the option of image treatment and you send us the prints and the photo paper in the kit by post together with your choice of image treatment (colour, font, text) and your order number.
