          WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SELF INKING STAMP and A PRE-INKED STAMP?


            Pre-inked Stamp -  The Premiere Stamp

            Stamps with impression dies where the saturated ink die box goes directly down,
            on to the paper, whereby eliminating a rubber die flipping up onto an inked pad and
            returning down onto the paper. Therefore, the superb impression is crisp and clear, as if
            printed. These stamps are durable, long-lasting, clean and easy to re-ink. The ink is as
            oil-based ink, as opposed to a water-based ink. They are smooth and quiet, when                         
            impressed. The stamp will make approximately 50,000 impressions before it needs to be                 
            re-inked. Clearly, the Premiere stamp.


            Self-inking Stamp - The Economy Stamp

            A mechanical stamp which has an internal stamp pad and rubber die plate in a plastic
            casing.  A turning action presses the rubber die up, into the internal stamp pad for each
            impression.  The rubber die then flips down, making an inked impression on to the paper. 
            Self-inking stamps are good for multiple stamping. This stamp uses a water-based ink. 
            They are re-inkable and economically priced.  The stamp will make from 1,500-3,000
            impressions before needing to be re-inked.
