Trodat Printy 4820 Date Stamp, Self-Inking Stamp for Professional and Personal Applications, 3/8” x 1-¼”, Eco-Friendly Climate Neutral Product (Black)

Just slide the ink cartridge in, and that's it! It's ready to use! Fast drying, and doesn't smudge! Easy to read the dates, easy to change the dates!

A bit sticky at first but functional once it gets going!

I was worried when I ordered this mainly because of the negative reviews but realized they were unfounded. This stamp was incredibly easy to assemble if you can even call simply sliding the ink cartridge as "assemble". It might be a bit of an annoyance to not get a detailed explanation on how to put in the ink but really, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. The pictures on the box was sufficient enough. Simply pull out the rectangular cover of the cartridge then slide it in, ink side down (again, common sense since the rubber part with the dates can only touch the ink when it's faced this way). Just push it all the way in until the small tabs on the side snap off, and done. If you can't press the stamp down all the way, it means the ink cartridge isn't pushed all the way as it should be and simply push it in further until it's perfectly flush on the other side.I figured all this out in less than a minute and I've never even owned a stamp like this before. Which brings me to my current possible issue. I don't know much about ink pads and the technology behind it (if it even has any) but I figured those manual stamps you can usually find in craft stores have ink pads with covers so it doesn't dry up. I don't know if the ink pad on this one will up dry faster because it's always exposed or not but I hope that's not the case.Also, I'm not quite sure what the significance is for the stamped date on the box. Mine says "17 Nov 2026" but my stamp goes from 2018 to 2028 and the format is in Month/Day/Year so it doesn't really relate to the example on the box at all.I'll update my review some time in the future and see how long this one cartridge will last. But for now, 5/5 for this self-inking stamp! Easy to use, portable (might put it in its own separate bag to avoid other things catching ink), and stamps very well. I highly recommend this product!

Just as described. Ink was packed in ziplock but for some reason the ziplock was not "locked". I believe the ziplock was there to protect against accidental leakage of the ink. Luckily it did not leak! The ink seems to work just as described (I reinked my stamper and tried it) and I'm now storing the ink bottle in the supplied ziplock.Update: (original review was 5 stars): Thank <your deity here> the ziplock was a good one. I have reinked twice successfully. However, I just discovered that the bottle was leaking, lying on its side in my drawer inside the sealed ziplock. There was a puddle of red ink all over the inside of the ziplock, but none of it leaked out. I tried retightening the cap, but couldn't prevent it from continuing to leak, so I ended up throwing out probably over half of the ink. I wish the bottle had a more foolproof way of preventing leaks from under the cap! If it weren't for the leaking bottle, this would still be a 5-star review.

I love this stamp! So real talk, I work at Starbucks and I am a supervisor and in that role I have to pull and defrost my pastries for the next day and I will tell you that when you’ve got multiple day dot stickers that you have to date, this stamp makes it so much easier and much more efficient, than to write the date on 23 day dot stickers. I definitely love this stamp. I saw somebody used it on TikTok and immediately knew I had to get one for myself. If you work at Starbucks, get this stamp!

It does the job. Goes to the year 2020, which is nice. Comes with one black ink pad that you stick through the side and it clicks when it's in correctly. Would be nice to have multiple pads, but I can live with the one for the price paid. Month/Day/Year is what's shown (Nov 17 2013) is what would show if you put today's date on it. The rotating gears to switch the dates around is pretty sturdy in my opinion, they are sharp spikes - don't use your fingertips, it hurts. I use my nails for the gears to switch dates, you can use a paperclip or whatever else that's small can really do the job so you don't hurt your fingertips. Takes about 5 stamps before the ink is completely off the stamp (without letting it hit the top again where the ink is). You know you'll stamp it the correct way if the company name of the stamp is facing you; if you are stamping with the company name away from you and the empty side is facing you, the date will be upside down.Shipping was fine, came on the expected date in it's own box, it wasn't loose. Overall I give it a 5 - no issues with the vendor, item, or shipping, just wish I had more ink pads for it. Everything came as specified.

I bought this for work and has been a lot of fun stampingXD!! i work on both dry and wet surfaces.I would say if you are working on a dry area this is the best stamp. On a dry area the ink is very clear, the size of the font is readable. It has helped me speed up when I’m packaging because I used to write the date manually, which slowed me down.Although, on a wet surface the ink does smudge but still works. Which is obvious, but what I found to work was to let the ink dry for a few seconds before getting into action. Oh! I would say when it smudges it’s honestly still readable, it looks like an indent or a light shadow, but the actual color of the smear looks like those art projects with the crayons and blow dryers lol. So on a wet surface it would not look pleasant if you are working with important papers.

I got this for papers at work and it saved so much time, was very easy to read, dried almost instantly, and was a perfect size for my medical paperwork which cuts out the messiness of handwriting. Great quality!
