Photography Question

Stamping copyright on photo


Anyone know a company where I can buy a stamp to stamp a copyright on the back of my photos. The trouble I'm having is finding ink that will not smudge. I know it exisits I just am at a loss on where to find it. Currently I'm having my printing company print something on the back, however they can only print 10 characters. My business name is Andersson Photography and so right now all it says on the back is Anderphoto which is kinda lame. I'd really like to find a way to hav eit say copyright Andersson Photography. Well any help would be so appreicated. :)

  Greetings Michelle: You can get a rubber stamp made at Office Depot or Staples. If the stamp you choose is self-inking, then make sure they order self-inking indelible (permanent) ink. If not self-inking, just buy a stamp pad with permanent/indellible ink and when you use it on the back of resin prints, just give it time to dry.

  My pleasure, Michelle. I thought I'd add one additional hint. Sometimes it helps to use a hair dryer to dry the ink on the back of a resin print. I guess it depends on the kind of ink. And, failing all that, use your stamp to make press-on labels, like Avery labels, then anchor those to the back of the print.
Take it light. ;>)
