Replace a stamp

[jaber.janelle]

I’m a CA notary and I’ve had it with my stamp. Had problems with it printing unevenly straight out of the box. I know someone who bought from the same company I did and received a disclaimer stamp with no ink at all! When the ink finally faded, I tried adding more myself and now it’s even worse. Looking for recommendations on where to order a new one before this piece of junk starts costing me money.

@jaber.janelle Great Question!

Performing a Search provides you with an opportunity to further enhance your business acumen & skill set (speaking proverbially). By guiding you to the Search Function, it “teaches you how to fish;” instead of giving you a fish . . . Be your own guru!

A Search of the Notary Café database (upper right/magnifying glass) will usually be quicker than waiting for someone to reply.

Here is one of my previous replies for purchasing a stamp:

Best Stamp

@northwestnotaryinc Great Question! Over the years I’ve purchased & utilized a variety of stamp brands & types; some oil-based inks, some water-based, etc. The following are ALL reliable, crisp, clean impression stamps that I’ve utilized for my Notarial Stamp: Trodat Professional 5204 XStamper Brother Titan My current Notarial Stamp (and my FAVORITE overall) is the Trodat Professional 5204, while it’s a bit larger than most, it truly renders a Professional impression each & …

Best place for notary seal ordering

Is the NNA the best place to order a notary stamp/seal? I got my first ones there, but they were slow and one of them quit closing after awhile. I renewed 4 months ago and expect to get my commission renewal letter soon, but current expiration date is 8-26-22. If someone has a recommendation for where I order my new stamp, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Best Stamp

I have 2 stamps and always keep them loaded up with ink. They are getting old, and I feel like I can’t trust them to produce a crisp clean seal. One of my stamps was folding over on the edge. I had to take it apart and reglue the edges. There are times I literally hold my breath and hope the seal turns out. I have searched best stamp on this forum and found great advise on where to get a stamp but not a brand name. Time to get a new one, please tell me your FAVORITE BRAND of stamp:

I went old school with a wood stamp and a separate ink pad. Fewer moving parts = less to break down. I’ve also started using fountain ink [the permanent aka bullet proof type] in my pad.

I don’t have a recommendation on who to buy from. I’m currently using a PSI by Trodat, and it works fine, but I’m not very busy the last few years, so haven’t put a lot of wear and tear on it. Look for a vendor who explains on their website which ink goes with which stamp, because if they mismatch it can ruin the stamp.

I also prefer to work with a vendor who shows me a mockup of how my stamp will read before I place the order, just to be sure they understand my state’s requirements. Take a screenshot of the mockup before you place the order, so if the delivered stamp doesn’t match, you have grounds to request a refund.

I custom-ordered a disclaimer stamp when the CA/SOS started requiring it on all acknowledgments and Jurats. I asked for a Brother 2260 because of the laser-like quality of the image. Been six years, and I’ve had no issues with it. I have a “skinny” Titan Jurat stamp and a PSI by Trodat for the acknowledgment stamp.

My choice of rectangular notary stamp (I have 2) is a Brother 2260, an Xstamper Eco-Green.

I have a round Vision 400R which is a piece of junk.

Xstamper is one of our favorite brands for making notary stamps. They have high quality ABS plastic frames, and the oil-based ink leaves a really nice bold impression. What type of stamp brand did you get Jaber?
