TYPES OF MOUNTS
There are 4 types of mounts to choose from when ordering a custom stamp.
We do not sell custom stamps unmounted.
|
HANDLE MOUNT
If
you choose a Handle Mount, your custom stamp will be mounted on
a standard commercial mount with a black handle. The handle is rounded,
with a flat area in the front for your thumb to rest on as you stamp.
Proper holding of this flat area also ensures that your stamp is
in the correct position and will not be accidentally stamped upside
down. Handle Mounts are available in clear photo-polymer or rubber. |
|
MOUNT INFO:
• Stamp Pad Required
• Use any Color of Ink
• Business Use
• Return Address
• Available in
Rubber or Polymer |
|
|
WOOD MOUNT
If
you choose a Wood Mount, your custom stamp will be cushioned and
mounted onto a hardwood maple block in the same way as we mount
our art stamps. The design is indexed and placed on the top of the
mount, for your convenience in placement of the image and also for
ease of identification when stored. Wood Mounts are available in
clear photo-polymer or rubber. |

MOUNT INFO:

SELF-INKING MOUNT
umark & Classix self-inkers are designed to work as great as they look. The ergonomically shape, soft rubber feel and smooth action make them easy to operate. It features durable, double-wall construction and "no slip" rubber feet to hold the stamp securely in place. The "open bottom" mount design allows you to position your stamp for the perfect impression every time.
The type of paper
the impression is made on will determine it's drying
time. Your stamp is not intended for use with glossy
paper.
Re-inkable: Simply slide out the ink
pad, apply several
drops of ink to the pad, and insert back into
the unit.
How to reink your self-inking stamp:
Push the top of the unit down approximately 1/8".
Push the buttons (located on each side) inward to lock
the unit in place. Push
the pad out from either side. Replace the old pad or
apply ink to the face of the old pad. Allow 5
minutes to soak in and insert back into the self-inker.
Press down on the top of the unit and the locks release
automatically.
We strongly suggest using the proper type of ink to reink your stamp. Using the wrong kind of ink can ruin your stamp die.
For best results use Ideal
Ink only.

PRE-INKED MOUNT
The istamp pre-inked stamp has an innovative design that offers solid construction, advanced re-inking system, and superb impressions. Its precise engineering creates a smooth and quiet action. The ergonomically designed handle offers the ease of use and helps create a solid, crisp and even impression.
Other points to consider about
a pre-inked stamp:
-
The type of paper
the impression is made on will determine it's drying
time. Your stamp is not intended for use with glossy
paper.
-
The dust cover
allows you to keep your stamp clean when not in use.
If the surface of the stamp does get dirty, place cellophane
tape directly on the stamp surface and remove. The tape
will remove the loose particles and enable the stamp
to make better impressions.
-
If you get ink
on your fingers, use rubbing alcohol and then soap and
water.
-
To avoid stains,
keep away from clothing.
-
Keep your pre-ink
stamp away from children.
Re-Inkable: To re-ink, simply pull off the handle and
apply
a few drops of ink into the chamber. Replace cover.
How to reink your pre-inked stamp:
Remove the handle and place
ink in the ink ports. Sizes do vary, so the amount of
ink required will vary. Divide
the quantity of drops evenly between the two ink ports. Let the stamp sit overnight. If
the impression is still too light, repeat. Always reink
with the same color as the original stamps. Leave stamp
in upright position after inking.
We strongly suggest using the proper type of ink to reink your stamp. Using the wrong kind of ink can ruin your stamp die.
For best results use i-stamp preink
Ink only.
