Maxmark Max Dater Self-Inking Phrase Date Stamp - Red Ink DEPOSITED Red

Practical easy to use and low cost

This is a really basic stamper and the ink is really clear, which I love. It’s also very compact/small so it doesn’t take up a lot of room. I would give it all the stars but changing the date is a little meticulous and you could get the ink on your fingers as your turning the little wheels to change the date. It’s designed very old fashioned, but a great deal for the basic use.

Should be known in plain view that it’s REALLY, really, TINY! Like ridiculously tiny…

It works well, once the date is set. But setting the date involves flipping it over and rotating the dials, with the numbers so small that it’s almost impossible to guess the date until you test-stamp a few times and adjust it. During that time, you’ll get red ink on your fingers.

Good for the money. If you plan on using this a lot, you might want to buy a higher quality one. Moving the date around is a challenge as the pieces do not move with consistency. Additionally, no way to know if you have the right date set unless you do a few practice tries.
