Self-inking stamps contain water-based ink and pre-inked stamps contain oil-based ink. The self-inkers transfer ink from an inner pad and pre-inked stamps have an ink cell and impression pad built into one. Self-inking stamps are the most economically priced and make a great impression 10,000 times before needing re-inking or a replacement pad. Pre-inked stamps create perfect impressions 50,000 times before needing to be re-inked. Both types of these very popular stamps are available in 11 ink colors and are refillable. Both styles work well on most porous papers, however are not recommended for glossy papers. Please choose one of our permanent ink stamps for stamping non-porous surfaces.

While inking involves tracing pencil lines in a literal sense, it is an act of creative interpretation rather than rote copying. Inkers fine-tune the composition by adding the proper weight to lines, creating visual contrast through shading, and making other creative choices.

Self-inking stamps are less expensive and sturdy. Their water-based ink means that impressions don't bleed easily and dry quickly on non-porous surfaces. Pre-inked stamps are more expensive but offer crisp, long-lasting impressions. Self-inking stamps can stamp 10,000 times before needing to be refilled.
Self-inking stamps have a built-in ink pad that is re-inked with every impression. These stamps are easy to use and don't require a seperate ink pad, as they already come inked and ready to use. This makes them a good choice for people who need to stamp documents quickly and efficiently.
A Custom Pre-Inked Stamp is a type of stamp that has a reservoir of oil-based ink built directly into the rubber dye, which means that it does not require a separate ink pad like a self-inking stamp.
Chances are you will run out of ink (or the ink will dry out) before you need a replacement stamp! For self-inking stamps, the ink pad will last for up to 10,000 impressions before needing to be replaced. For pre-inked stamps, the ink pad will last for up to 50,000 impressions before needing to be replaced.
Self-inking stamps have a built-in ink pad that automatically re-inks the stamp each time it's used. However, over time, the ink pad can dry out and the stamp may produce faint or inconsistent impressions.
If your pre-inked stamp does not have a sliding cartridge, then you will be able to remove the handle of the stamp. Once the top of the stamp is removed, you can place 1-2 drops of ink into the ink wells. Then replace the stamp handle.
Make sure the ink will pair with your type of stamp. Look for whether or not the ink is "water-based", "falsh" or an "industrial" formulated ink. A water-based formula is used in most self-inking stamps, flash ink is used in most pre-inked stamps and industrial ink is used in very specific stamp models.
Try not to store your pre-ink or self inking stamps flat / lying down as the ink might gather to one end of the stamp, which leads to an uneven impression. It's always best to store your stamps in an upright position.
A self-inking stamp is your best solution. This stamp type features a self-contained ink pad, which re-inks the rubber die-plate before each impression. Self-inking die-plates feature water-based ink for less bleed-through, are re-inkable, refillable, and come in varying colors.
Pre-Inked Stamps: Ideal for high-quality, detailed impressions such as logos or complex text. Also works well on various surfaces. Self-Inking Stamps: More suitable for high-volume, repetitive tasks like address stamping.
A Self-Inking Stamp is simply a rubber stamp placed in a spring-loaded stamp body which rotates to an internal ink pad after each use. Self-Inking stamps are fast, clean, easy-to-use stamps ideal for rapid, repetitive stamping.
In 2011, all first-class one ounce stamps became forever stamps with the exception of stamps in coils of 500, 3,000, and 10,000. As the name suggests, Forever Stamps can be used to mail a one-ounce letter regardless of when the stamps are purchased or used and no matter how prices may change in the future.
