10. The new Ideal Stamps are so unique they have been awarded numerous USA and international patents for function and design.

1. The aesthetics of the new Ideal Stamp had to meet four important criteria:
  a. The stamp must have survival form. This meant it needed to look like an evolution of the original Ideal Stamp. This is important so the new stamps are easy to recognize by end users as an Ideal Stamp.
  b. The stamp had to fit comfortably in your hand (ergonomics) and be comfortable and intuitive to use.
  c. The stamp needed to have a modern appearance that would fit in with the corporate environment of today and into the future.
  d. The stamp needed to have additional unique features to further differentiate it from all other self-inkers.
2. Engineering staff then went on to design an ink pad that can slide out like a drawer. The new ink pad holder is removable. This allows the pad to be re-inked through the top (like the original Ideal stamp), re-inking from the face of the pad, or replaced completely.
3. Ideal stamp ink is formulated for clean, crisp, fast-drying impressions without bleeding or fading on most paper stocks. A selection of ink colors is available in 6cc, 2oz, quart and gallon bottles

To assist the end user in re-inking there are instructional pictures on top of the ink well. These pictures translate well in any language!

RE-INKING
1. Push down to lock line and slide into position.
2. Pull out ink well.
3. Stop when you hear a click.
4. Fill well with ink then close and wait 15 minutes.
REPLACING 
THE INK PAD
Same procedure as inking but you just throw out the ink pad and replace it with a new one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. To allow for easier die mounting, the stamps will be shipped locked down in the mounting position. Just peel off the protective liner on the self-adhesive tape, mount the die, and release the lock... it's that fast. The die plate is even with the bottom of the stamp frame (not below the frame as found in other stamps) when it is in the locked position. This helps you easily and accurately place the die on the die plate.
5. An added bonus of the new Ideal Stamps coming to you locked in the down position is that they will take up less space on your shelves. With the anticipated increase in sales we expect for you with the new Ideal Stamps it's comforting to know you will have more room for storage!
6. The new lock also allows the end user to easily lock the stamp in the correct position so they can re-ink or remove the ink pad.
