Is the ink on the stamps a permanent type ink?

No, it washed off my nephews hands with a little soap and water. If its used on walls or material it may be a little harder to get out.

This is not a changing date stamp if that is what you are looking for. This is a constant message self inking stamp. I use to stamp return address on envelopes for paying bills So I have three lines the first is "First LastName" the second line is "123 street name" and the last line has "City, ST Zip"

Any standard fountain pen ink will do whether it is 'washable' or 'permanent'. As for cartridges, there are examples on the website for their pens. They look like fairly standard 'international' cartridges to me. You can get them at stationary and department stores or office supply stores.

Of course, the ink is permanent and does not wash off. The plate is dishwasher safe as per the instructions. You only use perm. marker... Not pen ink.

Hi there! Yes, after purchasing you will be contacted via e-mail by a member of their customer service team. They will send you graphics and different font options for what you would like the stamp to be. They are wonderful and I was super impressed with their level of customer service. They were extremely professional and the embosser is fabulous. I use it all the time and get tons of compliments on it. I ordered the chrome one which is simply beautiful and can't believe how reasonable the price was. This is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone!

I would say semi gloss, closer to a dull finish than a glossy finish. I think ink stamps will be fine just allow drying time. I use a sharpie or ball point pen for marking. For the price this is a good deal. Good luck and please let us know if they work for your application.

Absolutely! Color the stamps in desired manner, "huff" on the stamp to moisten the ink, and stamp away!

I think it can be done either way. The ink section is separate and has to be installed/slid into the stamper, so presumably it can be removed and re-inked, or replaced.

Yes they use the standard cartridge ink. That's what I use and have had no issues.

These are pre-inked. The color of the ink doesn't necessarily match the picture or the plastic, but I like all of the different colors. They are quite handy, I am a teacher and I use them to stamp student work.

The older answers for this question are no longer correct. I ordered this in February, 2013, and the blue-black ink that is currently available is no longer permanent. (It used to be, back in the day, that Montblanc blue-black was their only permanent ink. That is no longer the case. Permanent choices are royal blue or black only as of today.)

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.

This stamp comes with a water based ink that does not dry. It works great on paper because it soaks into the paper and stays there. It cannot be used on metal, plastic or any other non-porous material. It will never dry.

This stamp can be re-inked easily. Make sure you use a water based ink such as Trodat self-inking stamp ink. DO NOT use pre-inked stamp ink, such as Xstamper ink. It will ruin your stamp quickly. You can also replace the small ink pad in the stamp. If you have an old stamp, replacing the pad will make it print clearer.

Yes! Sharpie markers that are permanent, alcohol based ink pads for stamps, and colored pencil work. I recommend doing a test first with the brand you have, since the color will be much more rich and concentrated once it shrinks. I push hard and make sure to color in the area completely.

No the stamper is great. I bought this stamper a couple of months ago and I've had no problem with any additional ink printing around the signature.

Sorry I'm not sure. I use this stamp for work purpose and I like the stamp a lot because the words are small and fix inside a smalls square box on a piece of paper.
