Notary Stamps sold here on Notary Rotary
I just renewed my commission and ordered my new notary stamps from good ol' Notary Rotary. Ordered last Thursday, shipped on Friday, and received today Monday. Lightning fast service as usual!
Between my old and new commissions, I now have a variety of stamps to critique:
Old stamps:
Stingray
Impression Size: 1/2" tall, 1-15/16" wide
Pros: Small stamp fits in tight spaces
Cons: Print is thin, a little skimpy, sometimes produces light spots
Vision 100
Impression Size: 1/2" tall, 1-15/16" wide
Pros: Small stamp fits in tight spaces; It only cost me $5 when NR ran a special
Cons: Poor quality impression; Must be very careful when stamping to get it just right; Letters in my name often appear a little fuzzy - couldn't wait to get rid of this stamp with renewed commission!
New Stamps:
Brother 2260
Impression Size: 3/4" tall, 2-1/4"wide
Pros: Wow! What a great, clear, dark and consistent impression! Also love the cool-looking double-zigzag border!
Cons: Bigger impression won't fit into small spaces, but the pros outweigh this con.
Vision 400R Round Stamp
Impression Size: 1-1/2"circle
Pros: I've never owned a round stamp before - it will likely fit into some spaces that the rectangular stamp won't; Comes with different ink colors - I ordered mine in blue ink for a change of pace.
Cons: Not as clear and consistent of an impression as the Brother, but not bad. This will be my back-up stamp.
When you put all of these stamps in your shopping cart, they all say their impression size is 1/2"X 1-3/4". This is not the case - there are size variances between the different stamps.
Does anyone have the Premium Self-inking notary stamp that comes in different ink colors and different handle colors? I kind of wanted to buy one of those in blue, too, but didn't want to spend the extra money on a third stamp. I'm curious about the impression size and quality?
