Ink for
Numbering Stamps
Most common types of numbering stamps and machines would not
work without the ink or stamp pad. . No ink, no stamp -- the
logic in their use goes as simple as that. The ink for
numbering stamps is usually provided when we purchase or
order them. However, it is very important that one should
know which type of ink is suitable for the numbering stamp
or machine to be used. There are some stamping inks that are
only appropriate for a particular type of numbering stamp or
machine. There are also special inks that are only meant for
stamping surfaces other than paper, such as metal and
plastic.
The regular rubber stamp pad ink is the one commonly used
for almost all kinds of numbering stamps and machines. It
can only be stamped on ordinary and uncoated cardboard paper
documents. Black is often the color of choice, though one
could opt for other colors. It is mainly sold in two and
eight ounce plastic bottles. This is similar to pre-inked
numbering stamp and machine inks, though the latter is only
suitable for stamping on pre-inked number stamps.
There are also special types of numbering stamp inks for
particular stamping needs and tasks. Opaque inks are good
only for glass, metal, and some plastic-based surfaces. They
require an ink reactivator to keep it and the surface fresh.
Label-only inks, on the other hand, are applicable only for
certain kinds of photo and coated paper. Stamps used with
these inks should be cleaned at times because of the ink
build-up that comes with constant use. Numbering machine
inks, meanwhile, are strictly for automatic numbering stamps
and machines only. Being oil-based, they can damage the
rubber or metal bands of other types of number stamps.
