Rubber Stamp

We recommend you use high-quality, water-based ink for your rubber stamp. We recommend Shiny Stamp pads. You can purchase stamp pads in 4 sizes and in five colors on our Stamp Accessories page. When inking your stamp, use light pressure to press your stamp against the ink pad. Using even, downward pressure, press your stamp onto your document. Avoid using a rocking motion to make your imprint.
There is no need to clean off your stamp in between impressions.

Shiny Self-Inkers

Shiny has included all necessarily accessories for properly storing your stamp (ie: caps, boxes, etc). Keep your stamp in a dust-free environment of moderate temperature. Extreme temperature changes can affect the adhesives and inks used in your stamp resulting in poor quality imprints or stamp malfunction.

To use your stamp, remove the dust cap and press down on the top of the stamp to make your impression. There is no need to clean the stamp off between impressions. To replace the cap, compress the stamp, push in the red buttons on the sides to lock the stamp in place and slide the cover on.  Store the stamp in the original box. Ink pads can be replaced as needed. Replacements ink pad can be purchased on our Stamp Accessories page.

Shiny Pre-Inked Stamps and Pocket Stamps

Your stamp was sent with all necessarily accessories for properly storing your stamp (ie: caps, boxes, etc). Keep your stamp in a dust-free environment of moderate temperature. Extreme temperature changes can affect the adhesives and inks used in your stamp resulting in poor quality imprints or stamp malfunction. Your stamp should be stored in an upright position.

To use your stamp, remove the dust cap and press down on the top of the stamp to make your impression. Replace the cap and store stamp in the original box. Please note, your pre-inked and pocket stamp die (the part displaying your information) is delicate and any nicks or fingerprints will affect the quality of the impression. These stamps do not need be to cleaned. Replacement ink can be purchased on our Stamp Accessories page in 1/2 or 2 ounces bottles.

Your embosser was created using Delrin. Delrin is a light-weight, rigid, wear resistant type of plastic. Your embosser should only be used to emboss one sheet of standard weight paper at a time. Using your embosser on multiple sheets at a time or on other materials (such as mylar) may cause your embosser insert to bend or bow which is not covered under our guarantee.

Your desk, long reach and extra long reach embosser was shipped assembled and ready to use. Simply insert your single sheet of paper in between the dies and press down on the handle using light to moderate pressure. If you find your impression was not crisp and clear, try applying a little more pressure. Always make sure your embosser insert is seated properly before using it.

Your compact embosser needs to be assembled before use. After removing the embosser from the case, you must insert the die holder into place before use. The images below show how to correctly do this

To make in impression, insert your paper and squeeze. Make sure the rectangular notches on the bottom of the die holder are seated in place before using your embosser to avoid bending your insert.
