Make a Quality Stamp Impression

How to stamp a wood handle stamp

Stamping a wood handle stamp is simple and using the proper technique can make a quality stamp impression. Below are several tips for using your wood handle stamp.

  1. Make sure to tap your stamp several times on your ink pad to pick up a good amount of ink.
  2. Line up your stamp where you want to make your impression and press down evenly with a slight rocking motion.
  3. For larger stamps, make sure to slightly rock the stamp toward all corners.
  4. Make sure that you are stamping on a hard, flat surface. If your surface is not level, or you’re not able to apply proper pressure, you may not be able to get a good impression.
  5. Your inkpad should have the proper amount of ink on it. Too much or too little ink will cause the stamp impression to be illegible.

How to use XStamper Quick Dry

The X stamper F stamp dries in 30 seconds to 2 minutes on non-porous surfaces. The ink will be dry to the touch, but it is not resistant to cleaners or solvents, outdoor conditions, or severe rubbing. The X stamper F model quick dry stamps are a convenient option for stamping on glossy paper, plastic, metal, or glass. Due to the solvent-based nature of the stamp, we cannot guarantee the stamp to work well unless the following steps are taken by the customer.

  1. The stamp must remain in the plastic bag provided when not in use.
  2. The bottom cap must remain on and the stamp must be stored in an upright position when not in use.
  3. At least once a week, add a few drops of ink and use stamp to keep it from drying out.
  4. For successful stamping, line up your stamp where you want to make your impression, and press down evenly.
  5. If the bottom of the stamp picks up particles on the impression area, this can easily be removed with a piece of scotch tape.

The 2000+ HD model stamps are a convenient option for stamping on glossy paper, plastic, metal, or glass. The stamp ink will dry in 20-60 seconds on a non-porous surface. The ink will be dry to the touch but will not be resistant to cleaners or solvents, rubbing, or outdoor conditions. Due to the solvent-based nature of the stamp, we cannot guarantee the stamp to work well unless the following steps are taken by the customer.

  1. The stamp must remain in the plastic bag provided when not in use.
  2. The bottom cap must remain on and the stamp must be stored in an upright position when not in use.
  3. At least once a week, add a few drops of ink and use stamp to keep it from drying out.
  4. Because of the nature of the quick dry ink, the stamp is not recommended for high-volume use.

How to Stamp Maxlight

When using a pre-inked Maxlight stamp, we recommend a few tips to get a quality impression.

  1. Be sure that you are stamping on a flat, firm surface, such as a desk or a table.
  2. The max light stamp can be used on non-glossy paper products.
  3. With the StampMaker and Maxlight logo facing you, your text or image will be correctly visible at the top of your stamp.
  4. After moving the protective covering from the bottom, place the stamp on the paper, and press down evenly.
  5. The stamp impression will rejuvenate itself after a few seconds and can be used again to make as many impressions as you need.
  6. We recommend allowing at least 5 seconds in between impression when using the stamp multiple times.

How to stamp on a paper bag

A popular use for a custom stamp is to stamp labels or logos on a paper shopping bag or gift bag. A stamp can work great for this if done properly. Below we detail a few tips to successfully stamp on a paper bag.

  1. To stamp on a paper bag, you’ll want to avoid stamping on the seam of the bag. Stamping on the seam will create an uneven surface and the impression will not turn out entirely. If the bag is folded, this will also create an issue when using the stamp.
  2. You may need to insert a firm, flat piece of cardboard into the bag before stamping to create an ideal stamping surface.
  3. For successful stamping, line up your stamp where you want to make your impression, and press down evenly.

How to Stamp an Envelope

Stamping a monogram or return address is one of the most popular uses for a stamp. To make sure that you get the best impression, you will want to stamp on as flat a surface as possible. Stamping will work best on a desk or table with the envelope flat open. If there is a letter in the envelope, or an uneven surface, the stamp impression may not turn out clearly. For successful stamping, line up your stamp where you want to make your impression, and press down evenly.
