Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Do you make stamps for Coffee Cups?

Yes! The PSI Slim Stamps are perfect for rolling on to a cup. For photos and more information please see our Coffee Cup page.

There are two rectangular and a square size to choose from and logos or text can easily be incorporated on the stamp. To see our Slim Stamps go to our PSI shop page. As PSI stamps use an oil based ink we recommend getting a 15ml. bottle of ink with your order for whenever you may need it - as you may be stamping a lot of cups! We have a customer who said they stamped over 20,000 cups before their stamp required re-inking. This was fine line art - but still that is a lot of stamps!!

Q.How many impressions will I get on my Coffee cups?

The PSI Slim Stamps will give thousands of impressions but the amount all depends on the artwork. Solid block artwork uses a lot of ink whereas line art doesn't use much. 92 Degree Espresso use a PSI-SS2773 for their cups and emailed us asking for a different stamp and some ink for their existing stamp, saying "I will also need a re-inking bottle as the stamp for 92 Degree is getting a little low (it's stamped over 20k cups)".
Twenty thousand impressions from a stamp is not too bad!!

Q. I need a large logo stamp for my coffee bags and shopping bags!

Speedy Stamps can help! We can make extra large pre-inked stamps to help you promote your business!

Q.Can you help me with setting out my stamp?

Q.Do you assist with artwork?

Please just email through what you require, the impression size, ink colour and quantity required and we will make up a sample proof sheet and email it back to you then we can easily alter the layouts, font styles, impression sizes, etc. if required and will send a revised proof sheet through so that what we make will be exactly what you require! So that it is like this: .

Q. What is the difference between an Shiny Premier and a PSI stamp?

Both Shiny Premier and PSI stamps are premium quality pre-inked rubber stamps. Both brands give a high quality impression, last for thousands of imprints and can easily be re-inked for thousands more. We stock both brands simply to give you a greater variety of sizes and shapes and we fully guarantee every stamp we make! Traditional hand stamps are from the 19th. century, Self-inking stamps are from the mid 20th century and Pre-inked stamps are this centuries stamping technology - that is why we recommend them!

Q.How many impressions will I get from my pre-inked rubber stamp?

It all depends on how much coverage is on the stamp. Text only will last a long time, but a solid colour logo will use much more ink. PSI and istamps may give up to 10,000+ impressions before requiring re-inking. We have supplied an Australia wide transport company with a quantity of is-30 quality control stamps, and some are stamped over 1,000 times per week. They only required re-inking nearly five months later - some were used over 20,000 times! We have been using the stamp shown below to stamp each and every invoice we keep for our records - and we have not re-inked it yet. As an estimate we have used it over 6,000 times.

Q.How do you re-ink a PSI stamp?

Re-inking a PSI stamp is as easy as sliding the text plate holder out of the handle mount then placing a small amount of ink in each slot - you do not need to disassemble the holder. Re-insert the holder in to the mount and leave for at least one hour for the ink to soak through. Note: Do not over ink! Adding too much ink may lead to overflow. It is very important to only use oil based PSI-ink as water based stamp pad ink will flood the text plate and ruin the stamp.
