Due to its versatility and versatility, the self-type stamp has found its application in many offices of various companies that require the processing of a large amount of documentation.

Design

Self-type stamps and seals, although produced by many companies, have largely similar equipment and the principle of operation.

The set is:

1. Body, shape may vary.
2. Cliché: A series of stripes on which symbols are placed.
3. Character set. Quantity and composition depend on the model.
4. Tweezer: a tool used to set letters/numbers on clichés.
5. Replaceable soft ink pad.

An important aspect in the choice is the manufacturer, since when working with a largethe flow of documents causes rapid wear of parts, the life of a particular model is determined by the quality of the materials used in the manufacture.

Configuration Features

Self-type stamp can have a different shape and cliche, the application depends on the type of documentation being processed and the requirements approved by the State Standard.

The rectangular look is one of the most common types of cliches. The round shape is most often used for documents circulating within organizations. Triangular and square - specialized printing for government agencies.

Cash registers, or character sets for clichés, can be produced in various variations and can be purchased separately in case of replacement or breakage of existing ones.

There are differences both in the size of the print and in the number of lines in the cliche. Stamps are produced with a different number - lines from two or more, depending on the length of the cliché, the size of each line is limited, the number of small and large letters is prescribed separately for each model.

The color of printed characters is determined by the color of the ink.

It should also be noted that in order to avoid counterfeiting a corporate print, it is desirable to make it as unique as possible. It is recommended to use symbols to form the content of one cliché from different sets.

Daters are a type of seal that allows you to apply only the value of the date, using numbers and letters.

Working principle

Self-typed stamps and seals have a modern design to facilitate andautomate the typing and imprinting process.

The body of the seal consists of an upper (head) and a lower part (legs), to which the base is attached, and a typesetting plate (cliché) is fixed on it. A mandatory element that facilitates stamping is a spring that expands the lower and upper parts of the seal.

In the non-printing state, the base is pressed against the ink pad. When pressed, the base rotates and goes down.

The cliché ink pad is easily redirected regardless of model, even in cases where the manufacturer does not recommend doing this procedure yourself.
