Is StampXpress the same as Stamp Express?

The name of our company, and our website, is StampXpress. It is NOT Stamp Express. Our website is www.stampxpress.com. If you go to www.stampexpress.com, you will get a website for a rubber stamp company in Canada. The company Stamp Express is called Dial Rubber Stamp Express Inc. It appears to offer Trodat products. We are located in central California, and are not affiliated with this Stamp Express company in any way. There is also an art stamp website at www.stampexpressstore.com. This website offers Art stamps, scrapbooking supplies, brass stencils, and a variety of other products. They are located in Lemoyne, PA. We are not affiliated with that Stamp Express Store site either. If you have any questions about StampXpress or these other Stamp Express websites, please let us know.

Does the website accept purchase orders?

Whether or not your company or organization uses purchase orders, this can be a good indication of a professional company. Many of the fly-by-night operations accept credit cards as their only form of payment. We accept purchase orders from companies and government agencies after a quick credit check has been performed. Email us at service@stampxpress.com if you would like to use purchase orders.

Is the rubber stamp I will be receiving re-inkable?

The rubber stamps sold on this website are fully re-inkable, and good for up to 50,000 impressions before re-inking is neccessary.

Is it possible to change the ink color of my rubber stamps?

Changing the ink color of your rubber stamp is not recommended as ink formulas for each color are different and do not mix well. Mixing colors results in blurry impressions as the ink holding pores of rubber ink stamps can get blocked when a different ink formula is used. True colors cannot be obtained by mixing different formulas e.g. a black ink formula mixed with red will not render a true red.

What is the best way to clean my rubber stamp?

Occasionally, lint and paper dust may adhere to the surface of your stamp. To clean, simply, take a piece of cellophane tape and press it across the rubber stamp with your finger. When you remove the tape, you will remove the residue as well. As you stamp, you will find the clarity of the impressions made by your rubber stamp as clear as the day it was bought.
