The Benefits of Using imagepac Stamps
High grade photopolymer: All imagepac stamps are made from high grade polymer, not silicone, acrylic or rubber.
Tear resistant: imagepac stamps are tough. They can be stretched and will relax back to original shape and they are resistant to tearing.
Crystal clear: High clarity, shiny stamps for easy inking and positioning.
Non-yellowing: Permanently clear stamps that will resist yellowing however long they are left in sunlight. (We do not advise storage in sunlight however as prolonged exposure to UV will weaken stamps).
Naturally sticky back: imagepac stamps have an excellent back adhesion, allowing repositioning on an acrylic block, stamping. Storage on plastic keeps the stamp back sticky and clean for many years.
Easy storage: Stamps can be peeled off an acrylic block and stored on plastic in a folder taking up little space.
Excellent imaging: All imagepac stamps are made using an imagebright collimating filter that provides unparallelled image resolution both in relief and reverse. This even enables photograph stamps to be produced.
Photopolymer has been used to make printing plates for many years. Stamps are made via a negative process which means the finished plate can be highly detailed. Some clear stamps on the market are made from moulding silicone which allows less detail to be held and gives different ink transference.
Ink compatibility: imagepac stamps are designed to work excellently with all water based inks which account for over 90% of all stamp ink use. They will work with solvent inks, but prolonged use will weaken the stamp.
Plate relief: We make stamps in two standard thicknesses, 2.55mm and 3.2mm. Both have deep plate relief whilst still holding all the fine detail required. The choice between the two is simply a matter of personal preference.
Health and safety: Cured photopolymer stamps carry no health risk (we have not tested for FDA compliance or food compatibility). They contain no latex, phthalates, melamine, carcinogens or toxic or harmful compounds.
