What is the difference between each stamp?
Pre-inked Stamp (ex. N12, N18, N10, etc)
- The stamp impression is cut using a laser for crisp, clear impressions. Ink is infused with the rubber in a vacuum, achieving the goal of never needing to use a separate ink pad. Perfect for rapid stamping
Self-Inking Stamp(ex. P11, P40, M33, etc)
- The stamp die is made using a photo-reactant liquid polymer. the polymer is laid out on the impression copy and put in a machine to take form of the impression sample and harden. The die is then adhered on to the appropriate stamp. This type of stamp has an ink pad built into the stamp body. The mechanism flips the stamp impression up into the ink pad to ink itself (hence the name "self-inking").
Traditional Stamp (T10, T30, T70, etc)
- This is what some people call "rubber stamps" or "hand stamps." These are called traditional because these require the use of a separate ink pad.
