Black or Blue

Just got my license and is ordering stamp. Most/all docs required blue ink signing. Which color should I use for my stamp or it doesn't matter?

Thanks

Depends on your state requirements. Some states allow only black stamps, some only black or blue and some allow any color as long as it's reproducible. Check your statutes. (FL allows you to sign the "notarial certificates with any color ink, but the notary seal must be affixed
with black ink only.")

Typically, I prefer black stamps, but use blue ink for the signatures. Black stamps copy cleaner and crisper, but the blue signatures usually show "original" signatures.
