Where can I find equipment for going into the rubber stamp business?

Question

I'm looking for a machine I can purchase to make rubberstamps. I'm looing for the most recent machine out there. A machine that does all the work with less labor. Does anyone know where I can find that?

Check out Granthams.com

There will be some labor in making them, some of the work is tedious even with the machine. I had a job at a print shop 10 yrs ago making rubber stamps. Not only is it tedious but it can be very messy.

You will need more than just the machine though, you will need a laser printer to be able to print your artwork, will need to be able to print your negatives (this is what the stamp is actually made from).

You will also need an area where you can leave things set up. The actual curing of the resin does not take very long but if you invest in an expensive machine you will want to put it in a permanent spot.

After all that check out Trodat rubber stamps, they make the best self inking mechanisms. If you google them I am sure you will find their website.

I did enjoy this job very much.
