We believe the Brother 2260 pre-inked notary stamp is the best money can buy

Featuring an ultra-crisp impression with no bleed-through, the Brother will yield up to 50,000 impressions when properly re-inked

When one of our business partners asked us to carry the Brother line, we were both skeptical and reluctant. Our skepticism stemmed from the fact that the stamps can be made fairly quickly - often in as little as 10 minutes from start-to-finish, in fact - which had us thinking they had to be cheap. Our reluctance was due to the very high price of parts, as well as the fact that you cannot make more than 1 stamp at a time. (Brother materials range from 2 - 4x as expensive as other stamps and the Brother stamp machine can only accommodate one.)

However, after seeing the impressions first-hand, we were sold. The Brother imprints are extremely crisp and, unlike many other pre-inked stamps, bleed is virtually non-existent, even after several weeks. So, we promptly ordered our first machine.

The Brother, like most pre-inked stamps, can be re-inked to yield additional impressions. If your stamp impression ever fades, simply remove the cap and add the appropriate number of Brother ink drops.

IMPORTANT: Re-inking with any other brand of ink will ruin your stamp, so please do not do this.

What About the Notary Seal?

Notary Seal may be purchased at an office supply company, stationery store, or a print shop. There are three types of seals that are generally available for purchase -- the embossing seal, the rubber stamp and the perma-stamp. Any one of the three stamps is acceptable as a notary seal. The seal must contain the applicant's name, the words "Notary Public" and "South Dakota", and a border surrounding the imprint. If a rubber stamp is used, the word "Seal" must be included on the stamp.
A notary must write, print or use a separate seal imprint with the words "My commission expires" and the expiration date below the official seal imprint. If the words are printed on the form, the notary need not duplicate them.
It is absolutely necessary that the imprint of the applicant's Notary Seal be included on the Application-Oath and Bond form when it is submitted to the Office of the Secretary of State.
