MaxMark Self-Inking Rubber Date Office Stamp with MAILED Phrase & Date - RED Ink (Max Dater II), 12-Year Band

Coolest stamp I've ever seen. Works flawlessly! A must have in the office!! Numbers are very easy to change. The due by text is large enough to get noticed but not too large to over take.

This saves me so much time in the classroom! No writing due dates on papers or trusting third graders to write the due date accurately (or legibly) themselves. Clear info, no debating. Did need to purchase a bottle of red ink to refill the ink pad about a month or so ago. This was after about 5 months of stamping between 45 and 100 papers with it daily. The bottle of ink will likely last me years. It only needed about a tsp to refill it. No mess either.

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.

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.

The stamps worked perfectly and its easy to set the numbers. I’m not sure what everybody’s problem was with getting ink on their fingers. I had no trouble at all. Also, there is a guard over the rollers so you don’t have to touch them.
