MAKING A STAMP

Assembling the stamp

1 Peel off the protective film from the rubber surface of the stamp (see

figure 8).

2 With the protective cap covering the surface of the stamp, place the

stamp face down.

3 Place the skirt (middle section) over the top of the stamp (see figure 9),

and then push it down firmly until the upper edge of the stamp skirt is
below the top of the stamp holder.

4 Make sure that the stamp holder moves smoothly up and down in the

stamp skirt.

5 Lay the assembled pad on a flat surface. Place the grip or holder over the

skirt and push it down firmly. This action will break the ink container
inside the stamp (see figure 10).

• Leave the stamp in an upright position for at least 3 minutes to ensure ink

spreads equally over the pad (see figure 11).

• After assembling the stamp, allow 30 minutes to 4 hours for the ink to

absorb fully into the pad surface. Ink cure time varies for each size stamp
depending on room temperature. To minimize cure time, keep the ink pad
in a warm place and in an upright position.

☞ NOTE: Flipping the stamp over soon after it has

been assembled will prolong the cure time.

figure 8

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• Do not flip the stamp upside down soon after it has been assembled.

• Do not place the stamp on its side soon after it has been assembled.

MAKING A STAMP

Making an ID label

After engraving the stamp, we can print the same layout on a label that can
be attached to the stamp for easy identification. In order to see how the
stamp will appear when it is engraved, the ID label can be printed before
engraving the stamp.

1 Insert an ID label sheet, so that the words “ID LABEL” can be read,

straight into the narrow ID label slot to the right of the draft tray slot.

☞ NOTE: Be careful not to touch the print area of the

ID label sheet since dust, fingerprints, hand
creams, etc. may prevent the characters
from being printed correctly.

Be sure that the ID label is the correct size.

Do not use an ID label that has been folded.

• ID labels for smaller size stamps (1212, 2020, 3030, 4040, 1060,
and 1438) have two printing areas on each label. Print labels in the
lower portion first, and then save the unused portion for future use.
The machine will always print on the lower portion.

2 With the layout of the engraved stamp displayed in Stampcreator P-

touch Editor, select the Print command in the File menu.

Or click

3 Select “ID Label”, and then select the appropriate setting in the “Docu-

ment Type” drop-down list.

Insert an ID label sheet into the ID label slot of the SC-2000, and then
click the Print button to start printing the ID label.

in the Print Properties. The Print dialog box appears.

ID label slot

☞ NOTE: For details on printing an ID label with

Stampcreator Express, refer to page 39.

• The ID label will automatically be fed from the slot on the top at the right
end of the machine.

Applying an ID label

After the label has been printed and fed from the exit slot on the top at the
right end of the SC-2000, remove it, peel off the ID label from its backing
paper, and then affix the ID label to the top of the grip.

☞ NOTE: Some stamps, such as the 4090, 3458, and

4040, have an L-shaped ID label. When
attaching this type of ID label, apply the
short side first, and then apply the remaining
side to the stamp grip.

CARE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Periodic Maintenance

It is recommended that the Stampcreator Pro be cleaned after 50 stamp
engravings have been made. Use three cleaning sheets to clean inside of the
machine. Three cleaning sheets are provided for every 50 draft sheets. Addi­tional sheets are available through Customer Service or an authorized Brother
Dealer (1-800-276-7746).

Cleaning the draft sheet rollers

Sheet 1
1 At the pre-cut line, peel the backing from the cleaning sheet (see figure

1).

2 Load the cleaning sheet into the magazine tray so that the cleaning sheet

is slid above the front guide pins, but below the back guide pins. The
front edge of the paper should stay above the front guides (see figure 2).

3 Press the Mode button on the machine until “CLEAN” appears in the

LCD.

4 Press the Set button to feed the cleaning sheet. The cleaning sheet will

automatically be fed out from the exit slot.

Cleaning the Print Heads

The print heads require cleaning whenever you change the ribbon cassette.

1 Turn off the machine.

2 Open the ink ribbon compartment cover.

3 Pull back on the print head cover.

• The print heads are located on the thin gold-colored plate and are not
visible to the naked eye.

4 Using a back-and-forth motion, use the print head cleaning pen (part

no. PRCLPEN) to clean along the print head.

CARE & TROUBLESHOOTING

☞ NOTE: Be careful not to touch the print head.

Keep the cap on the print head cleaning pen
when it is not being used.

5 Release the print head cover and close the ink ribbon compartment

cover.

6 Print again.

☞ NOTE: If the characters are still blurred, repeat the

above steps.

Replacing the xenon lamp unit

The xenon lamp has an approximate life of 2,000 flashes. The Stampcreator
Pro will automatically count the flashes. When the message “REPLACE Xe
UNIT” appears in the LCD, replace the xenon lamp unit even if the unit can

Guide” on pages 53-55.

DESIGINING A STAMP

Correcting an imperfect stamp surface

• Dust accumulating between the xenon lamp and the rubber surface of the
stamp will prevent holes in the rubber from being properly filled in.

• The surface of the stamp can be corrected by filling in the holes using the
correction pen (part no. PRCORRT).

• Remove the cap of the correction pen.

• On a piece of scrap paper, push the pen point down until liquid begins to

flow.

• Apply the pen tip to the portion of the stamp surface that you wish to
correct (see figure 1).

• You can also use the correction pen to make corrections if ink has run
from the space between the glossy area and the non-glossy area around
the printing surface (see figure 2).

☞ NOTE: Do not try stamping until the correction fluid

is completely dry.
Be sure to apply plenty of correction fluid to
the areas that you wish to fill in.
Keep the cap on the stamp correction pen
when it is not being used.

☞ NOTE: When applying the correction fluid, make

sure that plenty of fluid covers the tip of the
pen so that it creates a point in order to
prevent the tip of the pen from rubbing off
the area that is being corrected.

CARE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Cure time imperfections

• Make sure that the image is correctly engraved in the rubber surface.

• For several hours, keep the ink pad in a warm place and in an upright

position to ensure that it cures correctly (see figure 3).

CARE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Refilling the Stamp Ink

If the stamp is faint or incomplete, use the ink bottle (sold separately) to refill the ink.

1 Remove the holder from the stamp.

2 Use the ink bottle to add five drops of ink to each refill hole in the

stamp.

☞ NOTE: Be extremely careful when adding ink.

Do not use ink other than that specified,
otherwise the stamp may be damaged.

If too much ink is added, it may start leaking
from the stamp’s surface. In that case, make
a test stamp on scrap paper to remove any
excess ink.

Holder

Refill holes

3 Put the holder back on the stamp.

☞ NOTE: Immediately after refilling the ink, keep the

stamp facing down until the ink begins to
