The Difference Between Self Inking and Pre Inked Rubber Stamps

RubberStampChamp.com offers self inking stamps as well as pre inked stamps. Rubber Stamp Champ has pre inked and self inking address rubber stamps, as well as pre inked and self inking custom rubber stamps of all types.

The main difference is the quality of the impression and how long the stamp lasts between re-inkings. Both are refillable and come in many colors.

Self-inkers are made of water-based ink and pre-inked rubber stamps are made of oil-based ink. Pre-Inked stamps are top quality and provide a solid, crisp impression while self-inkers offer a good impression at an economical price. Both of these styles are not recommended for glossy surfaces because they will smear.  Click here to shop quick-dry stamps.

Self-inking stamps have a rubber die that retracts up and stamps the inner pad every time it’s stamped, while pre-inked stamps have the ink impregnated in the rubber die and with a simple press, the impression is done.

The self inker is a little more economical, but the pre inked, while more expensive, offers thousands of more impressions without re inking, and the impressions are crisper as well.  All can be easily customized, proofed and ordered on our website at the best prices online, Knockout Prices from Rubber Stamp Champ.
