ExcelMark Scanned Self Inking Rubber Stamp - Red Ink (42A1539WEB-R)

Product Information

You can use your non-barcoded stamps until Monday 31 July 2023. The original deadline was at the end of January, but after the death of Queen Elizabeth, Royal Mail introduced a six-month grace period to give people more time to use their old stamps. As one of the first companies, we already had an Internet presence in 1999 with our broad selection of individually designable stamps and accessories. Today, we deliver our products to thousands of satisfied customers all over Europe. Selected solid components and state-of-the-art, high-resolution laser technology ensure that our stamps perform their work for a long time and with precise quality. This is why private customers like them as much as large companies or authorities that require large quantities. Hope you guys find it as useful as we have! We've been doing this a long time and have used everything from DSLR to 1200DPI scanners over the last 20ish years, and this one is the best thus far. Position the camera head around 4 inches above the subject and shoot. That's how we do it. If it's a big item, then stand it up a lot taller. The camera head also swivels 90 degrees so for wide or long shots, you can pivot it. My experience is only using Canon LiDE scanners and their non-WIA Twain driver, some other scanner drivers may not have required options (particularly all-in-ones). I'm not assuming a colour calibrated monitor, but you'll want a reasonably decent monitor, older laptop screens can have pretty poor colour display range. Also my use of colour calibrated scans has been for convenience in IDing shades which are clearly distinguishable by eye. Colour calibration will be useful to some extent for all issues, but it is going to have limitations and I don't imagine anyone will be positively IDing Australia KGV Head 1d Red shades from scans - however well calibrated the scans So....why calibrate the scanner if the item you're scanning is not perfect to begin with and the colours depicted on the monitor vary between users?

But if that scanner dies and then you will have to do a rescan of the first item the (certified) one, and you base any future stamp on that.While this is true it makes me think I have not explained the rationale behind this at all well If you have a certified stamp in-front of you and stamp of interest in-front of you then surely you would make a real-life comparison using a good natural north light? Taking a scan may help as well, but yes - colour calibration of your scanner isn't needed if the stamps are always going to be physically sitting together on your desk!! I'm looking to make colour calibrated scans work as well as possible for instances where real-life comparison is NOT possible.

A test would be if I sent an IT8 target, full instructions along with a few "test stamps" to someone who had some variant of modern LiDE scanner. They could then calibrate their scanner against the target, scan the stamps I'd sent, post the images and see if anyone could see differences! Or maybe not even an LiDE scanner - that's the settings I know, but I guess they are all pretty simple. Document verification is crucial in ensuring that the documents presented are both genuine and presented by the rightful holder. So for a single user (computer, scanner, software) assessing stamps against ´certified` (proofed) copies as standards on the same scan is no problem? Shining light through paper (e.g. using light from above, a lamp, or a torch) is a useful way to view features such as watermarks, and also any damage to paper. Document scannersWhat about colour enhancement through software to bring out the shade differences, e.g. increasing saturation levels and or contrast? Same scan of course for comparison purposes. As for the calibration part if doing the above, there is no need for your system to be super calibrated An identity document is any document which may be used to verify aspects of a person’s personal identity. These can include: No, I'm not, you've definitely totally missed the point of this entire post. It was about colour calibrating your scanner. Going beyond that I've made reference to then using colour calibrated scans of multiple stamps to make visual judgements. Similar (although not the same) visual judgements you make by eye with multiple stamps infront of you in real life. As said before in thread, the only way to standardise would be through sending actual stamps to others and that will never happen. I suppose a card of all the many GV Head shades is unavailable, as reference, for distribution?

Standard handheld magnifying glasses can be useful when examining documents to see if they are counterfeit (e.g., looking at print quality), or if they have been forged (e.g., damage around photographs and images). Ultraviolet (UV) light sources

Self-inking stamps can provide thousands of impressions over many years.

In fact the scanning of the GV heads and adjustment is useful however matted the stamp as it is the coloured elements that ´light up`. The enhancement of scans through alteration of saturation and contrast is also a great help in identifying shades. Help for by-eye assessment then! I do this with some success using proofed stamps on same scan as unknowns and comparing the shades after manipulation, although there seems to be many mistakes in old proofings of German stamps). All of this will be only for your own personal usage unless we all start sending our certified stamps to each other and scan and pass on to the next member
