Free Evaluations |
|
We are able to capture the tiny details
in your original artwork so that your
rubber stamps will produce fantastic
images. You may submit a sample
for a confidential free image evaluation
before you order your setups and
stamps. Simply e-mail
Susan a high quality
image/scan of your single design(s) or
artwork collection layout. Be sure
to let her know the intended stamp image
size(s) so she can confirm the resolution. |
|
|
|
Providing free evaluations has been key to
manufacturing excellent
rubber art stamps for our customers.
It eliminates any surprises and gives
you the confidence that your designs are
ready to go into production. The
stamped
images will amaze you at how accurately
they reproduce your artwork. It is
difficult to tell the difference between the
stamped image next to an inkjet print
out of the original file. |

Layout
Instructions for Stamp Designs |
|
Single stamp
design setups do
not require a 1/4” margin. Be
sure to let us know the intended stamp
image size when submitting your single designs.
When laying out your artwork collection of images, there needs to be
a 1/4” margin from all 4 sides. We
recommend 1/4" to 3/8” space between each
design to allow for the deep etch
shouldering making it easier to cut out
each stamp design.
Please note: The 3/8”
space between
images is only required if we are
cutting out your stamps with mounting
cushion. You may use less space when
you or your customers will be cutting
them out.
