Stamps are so inexpensive, that I buy one every year. Especially if she knew that her stamp wasn't working properly (as disclosed in your original post), she should have been professional and either:
1) not used the stamp, if it's not a requirement of her state (CT doesn't require use of a stamp & I know other states don't either, although lenders like to see it anyway)
2) replaced her worn stamp before the transaction
3) rocked the stamp side-to-side to get a clearer impression (sometimes this helps)
In any case, to use a worn stamp repeatedly when you know the impression isn't legible/clear is unprofessional. This notary obviously is not a problem solver of any kind. She didn't just make a mistake, she knew there was a problem and failed to act upon it. There's no excuse for that.
