A couple of weeks ago I subscribed to a thread on Splitcoast about a little contraption called the Stamp Critter that apparently lets you make your own photopolymer clear stamps. Well, someone on the thread bought one of these puppies and posted a photo tutorial on their blog, showing how it all works.
From what I can tell, it looks like this machine has two basic conveniences over the more labor intensive DIY process that I linked to in my previous post on this subject. First, it provides a light source that sits directly above the polymer & image and provides even distribution of that light. Second, it looks like the polymer stuff comes in a little baggie, which takes the place of having to build little dams out of craft sticks and pouring the polymer in.

We really need to check into this. Making our own stamps would eliminate the issue of using copyrighted images. I've carved a few; but I think we'd get much better results (considering my personal skill level) with the polymer technique.
