Spring In Action 11 - Chicago may 13 2011

In the neverending search to bring new products to our customers, we visited "Spring into Action 11" hosted by our American partner Craig Peterson in Chicago. We were the only UK represenative. Craig as always presented several new products and new incarnations of products as only he can, (I include a link to one of his you tube videos). Although much that was presented was of great interest, what caught our eye was the PSI 3X Stamper which has 3 text plates in 1, we hope to bring this and other new lines to the UK Shortly.

Selected daters

What are daters? They are stamps with the date mounted on a barrel so each day you can manually change the date. Typically they are made to cover a 10 year span. Daters come in all shapes, sizes and makes, but can be split in two cataogories self inking (has pad included in stamp) and non self inking. As a sub cataogeries there is also a further choice those that text can be added to and those which just have a date.
