Double Gold
The new Trodat pocket stamp—the Mobile Printy—has achieved a remarkable record, making it into the exclusive Million-Seller Club in just one year. No other product has reached this milestone faster! At Paperworld 2009, both the Paper, Office and Stationery Supplies Industry in Germany (PBS) and the International Stationery Press Association (ISPA) selected the Mobile Printy as the Product of the Year 2009.
This innovative and useful accessory—available in three sizes now and five sizes in July 2009—comes in eight colours and is designed for applications on the move or at home.
- Simple: sophisticated and elaborate design allows safe and quick stamping with just one hand.
- Steady: unique pyramid design guarantees steady and safe 5-point positioning with uniform and consistent pressure distribution on the textplate for a good, clear impression.
- Clean: Thanks to the construction and design of the stamp, the user does not come in contact with the ink when stamping or changing the integral ink pad.

News from Stefan Kupietz GmbH & Co. KG
The company introduced two new products at the Paperworld trade fair in Frankfurt this year: S10 special stamping ink and the Coloris SP special stamp pad. The S10 is a quick-drying ink for marking many kinds of non-absorbent surfaces such as plastic and metal. This economical, non-fading, weather-resistant ink comes in colors of black, red, blue and green.
The Coloris SP stamp pad replaces old-fashioned felt plate stamp pads. The customer can ink its special felt inlay himself using special stamping ink. The felt inlay has two sides: one is coated with very fine material on the surface for use with soluble dye (transparent) inks; the other side is uncoated and suitable for pigmented inks that penetrate the material.
