Trodat Printy 4913 Self-Inking Do It Yourself (DIY) 5 Line Personalized Custom Message Stamp with Black Ink (Pink)

I heard about this on a crafting video. I like adding phrases and sentiments of my own to my creative projects,, that I don’t always have premade stamps for. Individual alphabets are great for a variety of fonts and sizes. But not always easy to line up, leaving a sloppy look. This stamp is great, when you want a small block font, to stamp out whatever saying you want. Changing it every time. I look forward to getting different colored inks for it.I was surprised that the clunky looking tweezers worked well for grabbing a placing the letters. Inserting the ink took a bit of thought. No clear instructions. Just press the bottom up and line up the opening, and lock it into place. Then the ink cartridge will go in easily. Removing the cover over the ink, before inserting it, wasn’t intuitive either, but easy once you get it.Then easily stamp away.

Works great. It did take me a bit to figure out the letter placement. So for others like me here’s what to do. Identify the “up” word on the device. Then start in the upper right side and place the letters going left, spelling out each word backwards. Then you can adjust the spacing etc to your liking.

I was so in love with this product when it arrived. I really liked how easy it was to change the letters and customize my stamp to what I needed in that moment.

I got those to stamp dates on the back of photos. Probably not a good idea. With the back of photos being slick it just didn’t want to dry. I left it dry overnight and it still smeared when I stacked the photos together. But this is a really super nifty tool if you want to stamp on paper !

this thing saves my hand from dying during the Christmas holidays. I am sending a lot of cards to people around the world, and this saves me from having to write my address repeatedly. I used it during Valentine's day too. Greate infestation.

5 stars

Works well once it's set up. Larger font than I expected/wanted, but works well. Kind of hard to set up/change message, but it takes LOTS of patience! Only one ink color (black) which is useable in most instances. Cheaper than getting hundreds of cloth labels made and can have more and changing information

Used this to create a thank you gift for my baby shower and they turned out so cute!
