Date Stamp Custom Engraved Die-Plates ($30.00 to $40.00):

Do you need your date stamp to stamp custom text each time you print?  Is the text on your die-plate in need of updating?  We can provide upper and lower die-plate replacements for most machines.  Simply let us know what date stamp machine you own and the text you want printed.

Please Note: Die-plate engraving takes up to three weeks for delivery.

Date Stamp Year Wheels ($44.00 + labor):

All heavy duty date and time stamps have brass year wheels with limited years on it.  Eventually you will need to replace these year wheels with one that has updated years on it.  We do not recommend replacing these yourself as it is quite involved, very messy and requires special tools to complete the work.

Date Stamp Motors ($38.00 + labor):

Date stamp machines get their timing from a 110Volt synchronous motor that rotates at 1 RPM.  If your machine is no longer advancing the date and time, there is a good chance that the motor needs to be replaced.  These motors can be replaced by the customer but it does involve cutting the existing wires, replacing the current motor and then re-attaching the wires, which can be quite intensive and is best done by an electrician.

Noise Dampening Sound Cover ($92.00):

National Date Stamp offers products and suggestions on reducing the noise output from your date stamp.  The first thing to try is to place your date stamp on top of an old phone book if it is not already on some type of cushion.  This reduces the amount of noise vibration that travels to your desk and can sometimes be dramatic.  The next thing to do is to reduce the strength at which the stamp is stamping.  On the RapidPrint machines this can be accomplished by unplugging the RapidPrint, openning the lid and turning the strength arrow counter-clockwise (this is located inside of the tiny 1/6" hole on the metal plate situated behind the ribbon).

If neither of these items help enough, we offer a whole case cover that reduces the noise by about half of the normal SPL (sound pressure level).  This case costs $92.00 and fits over your current date stamp machine.

Foam Pad ($4.00):

As a low-tech solution for vibration noise created by your date stamp we offer a foam pad.  The pad is to be placed below the date stamp machine and reduces the noise and vibration transferred to your desk in most cases.  Sometimes this low-tech solution can have dramatic effects.
