Shiny Handy Pocket Stamp is Back
Shiny USA is pleased to be stocking and shipping this stamp in seven sizes, including a 1/2-inch and 1 5/8-inch circle/square. Each model accepts polymer/rubber or flash and thus is self-inking or pre-inked. For the self-inking model, the consumer can re-ink or replace the pads. The pre-inked version will make up to 5,000 impressions before it needs to be re-inked. The dust cover is removable and snaps into place to complete this sleek design.

Laser Black—Quality Negatives for Less
Laser Black is simply the easiest way to make a quality negative. After printing the negative on a *600 dpi (minimum) laser printer, feed it through the Laser Black machine. A chemical is dispensed that enhances the toner, creating a dark, black negative. With the use of MMC's new Industrial Air Dryer, the negative will be dry in two minutes. The company's HDV vellum ensures the best possible results.
Each Laser Black comes with an industrial dryer to dry the negative in under two minutes. The dryer can also be used to shrink-wrap MaxLight™ pre-inked stamps.
*Laser printers vary widely on how much toner they use. The printer settings may have to be adjusted to ensure the best results.
