Iowa Notary Stamp Types

There are several notary stamp options. Customize your order to suit your needs.

Brother stamps are the industry standard.  They feature superior impression quality at 600 dpi and can last up to 50,000 impressions with proper re-inking.  Brother notary stamps use oil-based inks.

Trodat Printy 4.0 stamps are climate-neutral as standard.  CO2 is saved during manufacture.  The residual, unavoidable CO2 footprintis compensated by investment in Gold Standard climate protection projects recommended by the WWF®.  Two special grip zones allow a cartridge to be exchanged without touching the ink reservoir—for guaranteed clean fingers.  The Original Printy 4.0 is one of the world’s smallest and lightest self-inking stamps. Soft-touch elements guarantee a pleasant, secure stamp grip.  The Original Printy 4.0’s crystal-clear positioning window also enables accurately placed imprints. The transparent bottom edges allow for precise alignment.

PSI stamps are made from recycled plastic (50%).  They use low emissions manufacturing practices.  They last twice as long as a traditional self-inker.  They feature laser print quality impression (300 dpi).  They are re-inkable indefinitely.
