Can I upload my logo to a stamp?

Yes. Keep in mind that stamps are designed in black and white only. For the best results, we recommend using an outline of your logo. You can always request a PDF Proof from us to see what it will look like when it is printed.

Please note that photos and complex images are not meant to be placed on stamps.

How do I create a signature stamp?

Creating a signature stamp will require you to scan a copy of your signature into one of our accepted file formats and upload the image to us upon making your rubber stamps order.

How long is my stamp good for?

The rubber stamp will last for quite some time depending on how often you use it. Keep in mind that the ink pad in the stamp may run dry before the stamp wears out, so it’s always good to order additional ink pads! For date stamps, the moveable date wheel is good for 12 years, and runs from 2006 to 2017.

Spare Pads/What do you use the endorsing ink for?

This ink is meant to be used for the traditional stamp pads ONLY, it is not suitable for spare pads of self-inking stamps.

In some cases even your text die and the spare pad can be destroyed (for instance because of solvents which are component of the ink).

Spare Pads/How to change the colour of the imprint?

First take out the present spare pad of the stamping device.

After that clean the text die, so that no remaining ink pigments can get into the new spare pad. Normally it is sufficient to stamp on a white sheet of paper without the inserted pad till there won't appear an imprint anymore.

Now you insert the new pad with the other colour into the stamp.

Spare Pads/What has to be considered when buying a new text die?

When buying a new text die, you should also ask for a new spare pad, because the present text die "left its traces" on the spare pad. This means that the pad surface is a bit uneven, and therefore you would achieve only a partial imprint with your new text die.

The best however would be to use a new stamping device for the new text die, and this way you can ask for the latest model.

Spare Pads/Why better exchange the spare pad instead of reinking it?

Do not reink the spare pad of your COLOP self-inker. In case of use of unsuitable ink, the spare pad and/or the text die can be destroyed.

Customary ink is only intended for traditional stamp pads (for hand stamps).

Original COLOP spare pads for self-inking stamps are electronically inked and therefore guarantee that the ink is evenly spread in the spare pad. Reinking the spare pad leads to a high quantity of ink on the surface layer of the pad (bad imprint), because the ink can not sufficiently seep into the pad material. This way you automatically lose also the guarantee for your imprint.

Spare Pads/What do I do with the present spare pad?

All parts of the COLOP spare pads are harmless, and can therefore be disposed of the normal household waste.

Spare Pads/How to exchange a spare pad?

Exchange your present spare pad in your self-inker by simply inserting a new one.

This way dirty fingers or dirty work surfaces are a thing of the past.
