I'm going through the same process as you right now. I've been using Vision Clarity stamps for many years, but they seem to have disappeared, except for the circular one, which I don't want. I've done multiple online searches, but see no mention, so I'm wondering if they're just out of business.
I've bought my stamps from NR for at least the past 3 or 4 commissions, but with shipping costs what they are, even with the Premier member discount, it looks like I'm better off going with a local vendor, just a few miles from me. Less chance of something getting lost, too. And here in CA, they can't begin stamp production until they have the SOS-issued Certificate of Authorization. If that gets lost, it's a major time-intensive hassle to get another one.
The place I've decided to go said they have an Ideal "clear self inking" stamp that sounds pretty good. I've also always requested the 1-inch version which I find so much easier to fit into those small spaces. (This reminds me that I need to verify that this local supplier can make them that size. If not, it will be a deal-breaker, and I'll be coming back to NR. I should be receiving my materials from the state any day now.)
