From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Rubber stamping, also called stamping, is a craft in which some type of ink made of dye or pigment is applied to an image or pattern that has been carved, molded, laser engraved or vulcanized, onto a sheet of rubber. The rubber is often mounted onto a more stable object such as a wood, brick or an acrylic block. The ink coated rubberstamp is pressed onto any type of medium such that the colored image is transferred to the medium. The medium is generally some type of fabric or paper. Other media used are wood, metal, glass, plastic, rock. High volume batik uses liquid wax instead of ink on a metal stamp. Commercially available rubber stamps fall into three categories: stamps for use in the office, stamps used for decorating objects or those used as children's toys. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Can anyone explain briefly how to rubber stamp and then 'emboss' it with the 3D shiny raised outline? Q. My sister's friend made her a gorgeous stamped greeting card and all along the stamp lines she did something to make the outline of the stamp on the paper to make it raised, shiny, 3D. I would love to learn this process but haven't found a simple explanation. My sister told me that her friend had to use some type of powder and then had to blow hot air on it with an embossing tool-is this correct? Is it expensive? Asked by TheFlowerLady - Tue Mar 27 23:30:45 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. You have to use a special embossing ink and embossing powder. And yes you do need a heat gun. They come in a range of prices and sizes and shapes. You would need to just go to a hobby store and price one. You ink your paper and before the ink dries, shake the powder on and tap the excess off then heat set it. Added: What I have found easier and cheaper, is to get a little bottle of clear crystal fabric paint and after I stamp my image, I go over the lines with the fine tip of the paint. It draws the color of the regular ink you use up in to the paint and it is raised, plus you get the pretty crystal glitter shine. I bought the Polly Mark Dimensional fabric paint, but you can use any brand you like. It only cost about 99 cents.

When I am referring to seal, I do not mean the animal, but a device, an official stamp or symbol used as a means of authentication. I would like to know the difference between them both as devices and "actions". By the latter I mean the action of sealing (for example an enevelope) and rubber stamping. Asked by Peppy - Fri Dec 5 05:05:53 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Great question. Short Answer: A seal is an impression made into something. A stamp is an impression made onto something. Long Answer: To add more confusion, let me interject that a seal can also be a stamp. A seal is customarily known as an "official seal". A seal leaves an impression, and therefore the old wax kind of seal is relevant. The was is not the seal, but the seal is made once the impression is pressed upon the wax. That impression is the seal. Nowadays, common seals are known as embossers, which have an impression and a reverse impression on two die plates that come together, and impress a seal upon (most commonly) paper. That impression is made into the paper, thus making a seal. A rubber stamp makes an impression… [cont.] Answered by Jolly Gardener - Wed Dec 10 12:55:56 2008 Where can I find equipment for going into the rubber stamp business?
Q. 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? Asked by VEGAS B - Tue Mar 13 12:58:54 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. 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.
