Trodat Vienna 9012 Now Available
I just added the Trodat Vienna to the store for most states. This stamp was previously discussed on the board. $12 for Premier Members; $18 for others.
I really like the stamp with one small exception: much of the downward pressure is transferred to the center of the impression, which can leave the edges a little faded unless you either a) press hard, or b) use a couple more fingers to apply pressure more evenly across the top of the stamp as you press down.

and it is great. It fits in small areas on docs that you can never target with the clunkers, stays clean and sharp even after 30K or more stampings, fits nicely in small pockets of a notary briefcase and with the right ink never bleeds through the page (which is unprofessional and can invalidate the notarization in some states, like mine). It is important to refill it with the right ink. Some inks are to thin (watery). We use the Maxum premium quality stamp ink 2 ounces (no part # on the bottle). Press with the tab and a quick 2 finger push on the left end and it is perfect. Pushing hard is not good for it after a few billion impressions.

I use a local stamp and seal company. Around 10 or so years ago the impression material was a type of rubber that would become sticky after time. A new material will not stick and I have one of both materials. The older one actually pulled the ink pad material up and would not ink evenly. I got a new ink pad slug for that one and then bought a new stamp with the newer material. We in KS must submit the impression to the SOS before it can be used.

I've used it in the past. What I like about it is that not only is it small, you can see "exactly where it is going to "land"
