Trodat Printy 4913 Customizable Self-Inking Stamp with 3mm and 4mm Letters

I use stamps for all sorts of reasons in my daily life. Some are pre-made stamps like my return address stamp or the stamp that says "MEDIA MAIL" that I use for mailing. However, if I were to buy a stamp for every single thing I ever needed, I would be deluged in stamps. Instead, I also have a customizable stamp for times that I need to just stamp a batch of things for a project.
I had a previous customizable stamp but lost the letters for it. So I bought myself this new Trodat Printy 4913 stamp. It comes with two trays of letters, one 3mm and one 4mm. You simply choose what you want the stamp to say, put those letters into the stamp, and stamp away.
My first project was this was to make a stamp for my art group's lending library. We have over 100 books and we wanted to stamp them all as belonging to the lending library, to improve the chances of the books returning to us eventually. This is the type of project I love using the customizable stamp for. It's not like I'd want to buy a pre-made stamp for this purpose, which is sort of a one-and-done situation. Instead, I can customize the stamp myself to say BVAA Lending Library. Then I can change the stamp so it has information about my art prints, to stamp on the back of all of those. And so on.
The stamp is VERY easy to use. I have incredibly shaky hands, as you can see in my video, and even so I was able to get the little rubber letters out of the tray and put them into the stamp base. You can slide the letters around and adjust them. Then you add in the ink pad and you're set! You can easily stamp as many things as you want. The impressions were clear and easy to read.
Well recommended.

That really helped me out. Thanks. Oh, and I have a cat too who knows when I'm doing something important and will then do everything in his power to mess it up. Like he will sit on my head or meow constantly and then when you ask him what's the mater, he will walk away and go to sleep. You gotta love them.

[@lisasheaartist]

I'm glad it was helpful! And yes I try distracting them ahead of time but it never works. Zuzu comes right over the moment I start working on anything even remotely art-related.

Thank you for giving such an informative video! I came to UA-cam for a video that would give me tips & found it here. Great channel

[@lisasheaartist]

thank you so much!

[@brandon2846]

Great video! Very informative and cat friendly. Haha

[@lisasheaartist]

Thanks! Yes my cats tend to climb ALL over me when I'm trying to do video tasks ... so helpful ...

[@azaadalli8761]

Excellent demo.

[@lisasheaartist]

I'm glad you found it useful! I use this all the time for the books in the BVAA library.

[@azaadalli8761]

@@lisasheaartist I purchased one and used with perfect results. Note: it only comes with upper-case (CAPS). I'll have to check if lower case characterd be ordered for this model as it would be handy.

[@primalnations]

thanks for the review, all the other videos on this were weird advertisements

[@lisasheaartist]

That is so strange - what is UA-cam coming to? Next it'll all be fake AI clickbait ... we need a way to get to actual human being useful content.

[@m.k.sanderson2773]

Thank you! I received one as a gift and was having trouble setting it up. Your video was so helpful!❤

[@lisasheaartist]

I'm glad you found it useful! Yes, remember the days when you bought an item and it actually came with a functional instructional book?

[@sufian2k6]

Good video, Lisa. Thank you.

[@mad_hatt]

Thanks so much for the video! This stamp will be perfect for making comics!

[@lisasheaartist]

Yes, there's just SO many uses for a customizable stamp like this. I use mine for mostly art-related tasks.

[@mad_hatt]

@@lisasheaartist yeah! It’s really a great little machine. You’re the only video I’ve found that actually explains how this thing works. You’re a life saver!
