1.  Does is cost more to produce a scuba dive log book stamp with my own image/photo?
Printable data without post-editing is always free.  Otherwise, we only charge an extra EUR 7.00 for the insertion.

2.  What is a printable file?
Pixel graphics (BMP, TIFF, GIF, PNG, JPG) in 1-bit black and white with 1000 dpi are ideal.  Vector graphics  (CDR Corel Draw X3-20, EPS, PDF) in black and white and generally all fonts converted to curves or paths are printable.  Please do not use hairlines.  The line width must be at least 0.1 mm.  Set your layout always in a so-called raw-format frame.  This corresponds to the final format of the stamp (e.g., 30 mm round).

3.  Can I use Excel-, Word-, or PowerPoint-templates?
Unfortunately, we cannot use these templates directly, since they are not graphic formats.  Please send us these documents via e-mail.  We would be happy to convert your template.

4.  What should I consider regarding the size/resolution?
Your graph should have a resolution of 1000 dpi and have a size of no more than 10 MB.  If you have problems, simply send us your template via e-mail.

5.  Can I use a template from the Internet for a stamp production?
Copied graphics and images from Web pages are usually useless, since they have a low resolution of only about 72 dpi.  If in doubt, just send us the file via e-mail for consideration.

6.  How can I check the quality of my template?
Simply send us your template via e-mail, and we will tell you if we can use the file.

7.  What should I consider regarding the font thickness?
Please note that fonts should be set in at least 6 point.  Bold fonts that are set small are also not ideal, since color runs in the paper can later make text hard to read.

8.  Are graphics with large black areas problematic?
Yes, because the paper must absorb the printed ink (runs in the paper fiber).  With an inverse design, it is important to ensure that the internal elements are not too fine or too small.

9.  Can I produce my signature as a stamp?
Yes.  You can scan your signature and send it to us as an image file.  However, please ensure a sufficient line width and a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.

10.  What happens if my graph does not meet the requirements?
Our employees can decide definitively whether a template is good enough.  If you send images, which we cannot turn into a perfect stamp, we will notify you via e-mail or telephone.  You can then edit the image and send it again to us via e-mail.  You can rely on STAMPEX in that we produce stamps only with good data.

11.  Will my personal logo later appear in the design collection of STAMPEX?
Of course not.  We follow international copyright law.

Delivery as a Drawing

Motif insertion (digitizing/vectorizing) EUR 14.00
Please do not fax an image, since the quality is too bad.
Of course, you may send motifs also as a monochrome drawing template or computer printout (600-1200 dpi laser printer) in good quality and double the stamp size (A4 is the maximum size).  Only monochrome line art on a white background are usable.  Photos and images with gray levels, gradients, etc. are only partially suitable.  If necessary, we can decide this by inspecting the templates.  The better the template, the more beautiful the stamp.

We wish you much success with the design of your graphics stamp.
