			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the cost of a document that has been altered or misused? Don&#8217;t know &#8211; that&#8217;s OK, nobody does because it can&#8217;t be calculated. Keep reading to find out how businesses &#8211; large and small &#8211; can reduce and mostly eliminate that risk with a simple element of document management.</p>
<p>Anyone who has ever worked anywhere has seen and used rubber stamps to mark documents. Documents are routinely stamped DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, COPY, RECEIVED and so forth. When a document is distributed in an office, everyone understands the purpose of the stamp: people may scribble their comments on the document marked DRAFT before it returning it to the originator or keep a &#8220;confidential document&#8221; from laying on the top of their desk or in the printer tray. Likewise, information workers try not to leave a document marked CONFIDENTIAL lying beside the photocopier.</p>
<p>Electronic documents are also marked in similar ways. For instance the header and the footer often contain information about the purpose or intent of the document. However, if such information is in the footer, it can go unnoticed unless the document is viewed &#8220;full page&#8221; or scrolled down to reveal the footer. And even then, it may not be noticed as it should.</p>
<p>Current generation copiers have many features to &#8220;clean up&#8221; images. Excellent contrast adjustments, dust removal, sharpening and so forth. Unfortunately, it is possible, either intentionally or unintentionally, to remove most branding or labeling stamps and hand markings. Needless to say, this can effect your job as well as your business and not in a good way. A COPY stamp can be removed from a document and be used as if it were an original. Or someone could remove a date and number stamp. They could even add a different date and number stamp. For many businesses (think perhaps legal, financial and quality control) this could damage both reputation and profits, not to mention wasted time and attorney&#8217;s fees.</p>
<p>If documents could be <strong>securely protected</strong> by <a target='_blank' href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL3FhkrdMmI">embedding a watermark</a> into the text, that would be a solution. But, watermarks can be removed by simply changing the contrast setting on a copier or the scan color on a scanner. This means that the only secure form of document identification is a non-contrast sensitive marking that is embedded into the text of the document AND does not effect readability. Thus, the conventional watermark is not the answer for secure identification and good document management.</p>
<p>While Microsoft Word has the ability to do this type of marking &#8211; if you have the time and the knowledge of how to do it &#8211; there is a simpler way to accomplish this basic requirement with an add-in for Microsoft Word which meets the criteria of an <a target='_blank' href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL3FhkrdMmI">essential element for the Electronic Document Management</a> (EDM). This add-in for Microsoft Word, called StampIt, allows the documents &#8211; whether paper or PDF &#8211; to be created with the appropriate markings. When documents are circulated or distributed in either electronic or paper form, there will be no doubt as to the purpose or intent of the document. Identification is what makes your document &#8220;manageable.&#8221;</p>
<p>StampIt lets you use any hollow, solid, watermark, image or Bates stamp for document marking as well as other features letting you apply graphic signatures stamps pages independent of those that are printed.</p>
<p>StampIt provides Word users with the ability to instantly create and apply any necessary or interim marking to any <a href="http://www.stampitnet.com">paper or PDF document</a> &#8212; at any time &#8212; securely. This process ensures that the basic element of <a href="http://www.stampitnet.com/word-document-management.html">small business document management</a> &#8212; identification &#8212; can be quickly and easily applied when the document is created.</p>

<p>Decorative rubber stamps are a great way to be creative. There is so much you can do with them and the results (or the stamps themselves) made great gifts. They come in a wide variety of sizes and styles. You can adorn everything from wedding invitations to fabrics.</p>
<p>Photo albums and scrapbooks look great when you add a theme with decorative rubber stamps. People use them on flyers, cards and even to decorate a child&#8217;s bedroom. They look great on posters and presents. You can really make a statement when you go to a birthday party, a bridal shower or a baby shower by decorating the guest of honor&#8217;s gift with their colors and a design.</p>
<p>The possibilities really are endless when it comes to the types of decorative rubber stamps that you could use. There are animals and insects, Disney, flowers and nature, patriotic and military, seasons, sports, love and vintage to name just a few. You can get a decorative rubber stamp with your return address on it and a symbol, and use it at special times of the year or at holidays. For example, the stamp could have your address on it and a snowflake. You can use it over the winter and get different colors of ink to use with it.</p>
<p>If your child loves baseball, football, fishing or cheerleading you can have a decorative rubber stamp made with the sport they enjoy and their name on it so they will not lose any of their books, or hats or book bags. They will know what is theirs by the stamp.</p>
<p>If you are thinking of becoming a collector of decorative rubber stamps, you will be able to create unique and elaborate projects. You will be able to add other art supplies like markers or paints to create very elaborate images. Be certain to purchase ink pads that are waterproof so none of your work will be smudged. Always work on a flat surface to ensure that the stamp will be pressed evenly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Document marking and identification is one of the primary components of a document management system. While much has and is being made of the &#8220;paperless office&#8221; and electronic document management (EDM), the fact remains that the correct term should be &#8220;less paper&#8221; and not to a significant degree. Obviously, paper is not going away anytime soon. Likewise, it is safe to say the most text-based PDF files originate from a Microsoft Word document. Couple that with the &#8220;compliance&#8221; requirements and potential for liability for all businesses and you see why effective paper and PDF document identification and security are a core requirement.</p>
<p>Paper and PDF are often used for review, markup, meetings, drafts and any number of other purposes that we prefer or need to use paper. It is then that the first version of the document coming its electronic womb &#8212; begins the document lifecycle. How those documents are identified as to their purpose or intent will determine the risk in the document&#8217;s lifecycle and to a large degree, that of its &#8220;creator.&#8221;</p>
<p>When a document is created (printed to paper or PDF) four things should be considered: (1) who is going to received the document; (2) what is the purpose of the document; (3) can the document&#8217;s purpose be misunderstood; and (4) what is the best way to ensure the document is used as intended.</p>
<p>Who is going to receive the document? 	 What is the purpose or intent of the document? 	 Can the purpose or intent be misinterpreted?</p>
<p>Because the font is frequently the same size (or smaller) as the rest of the text in the document, the document identification doesn&#8217;t readily inform the recipient of the document purpose or intent. Moreover, it was and is easily removed with today&#8217;s digital copiers.</p>
<p>Now, the most common method of document identification is a visible watermark. Word processing programs enable users to insert a watermark or other form of indicia into the text or body of a document. Most printers allow a user to insert a watermark at the printer level as an effect. While this puts the same kind of watermark into the document that the word processor, it is not popular due to the difficulty of implementation.</p>
<p>Graphical document marking can be the most effective method of document management for paper and PDF.</p>
<p>Which brings us to the most effective method of ensuring the intent and purpose of your document is never misunderstood or misused.</p>
<p>Word Document Management Using Graphics</p>
<p>Images draw the eye and get attention much faster and more effectively than text. With that knowledge, it is clear that documents should be marked in a manner that is convenient, precludes alteration and concurrently conveys the document&#8217;s purpose.</p>
<p>Embedding an indicia in the body text of each page of the document provides the greatest degree of document security &#8211; PROVIDING that the indicia cannot be removed with a scanner or copier. Microsoft Word has all the components to accomplish this process. It can be done manually and becomes easier as you increase your skill in the application of graphics for document management. Of course, using an automated process makes the task much simpler and more efficient by way of the convenience.</p>
<p>StampIt for Word automates all the important Word features for effective <a href="http://www.stampitnet.com/document_management_features.html">business document management</a> of paper and PDF workflows. It provides an easy and unified control that makes your document identification easy to handle. Get the 15 day free trial now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Document marking and identification is one of the primary components of a document management system. While much has and is being made of the &#8220;paperless office&#8221; and electronic document management (EDM), the fact remains that the correct term should be &#8220;less paper&#8221; and not to a significant degree. Obviously, paper is not going away anytime soon. Likewise, it is safe to say the most text-based PDF files originate from a Microsoft Word document. Couple that with the &#8220;compliance&#8221; requirements and potential for liability for all businesses and you see why effective paper and PDF document identification and security are a core requirement.</p>
<p>Google-ing the phrase &#8220;using paper&#8221; returns 328,000,000 hits. While the paperless office is a myth, we are attempting to use &#8220;less paper.&#8221; Nevertheless, we use paper everyday for meetings, proposals, editing, and countless other purposes. When paper (or PDF) is used, a document has been created. That means the the document lifecycle has begun and the creator of that document is now responsible for how it is used and/or interpreted.</p>
<p>When a document is created (printed to paper or PDF) four things should be considered: (1) who is going to received the document; (2) what is the purpose of the document; (3) can the document&#8217;s purpose be misunderstood; and (4) what is the best way to ensure the document is used as intended.</p>
<p>Who is going to receive the document? 	 What is the purpose or intent of the document? 	 Can the purpose or intent be misinterpreted?</p>
<p>Because the font is frequently the same size (or smaller) as the rest of the text in the document, the document identification doesn&#8217;t readily inform the recipient of the document purpose or intent. Moreover, it was and is easily removed with today&#8217;s digital copiers.</p>
<p>The problem with header/footer marking is that it usually was (and is) in the same font as the body text and frequently, smaller. This made it easy to overlook and easy to remove with a late-generation copier.</p>
<p>This led to graphics in word processors in the form of watermarks and other formats to be combined with the text of the document. Printer manufacturers then followed by allowing users to embed a visible watermark into the printing of the document but this feature was not widely used because of the difficultly in using the feature. While watermarks were far superior to rubber stamps, they still can be easily removed from documents by changing the contrast setting on copiers.</p>
<p>A Graphic is Worth a 1000 Words</p>
<p>Word Document Management Using Graphics</p>
<p>Images draw the eye and get attention much faster and more effectively than text. With that knowledge, it is clear that documents should be marked in a manner that is convenient, precludes alteration and concurrently conveys the document&#8217;s purpose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using rubber stamps or manual watermarks for business document management can be a tough habit to break. And, it can pose serious risks to your document security and data &#8212; and your business &#8212; particularly where there are multiple copies of a multi-page document that must be identified and distributed. Finally, if the document is given on to another person, how do you ensure its purpose and intent are maintained?</p>
<p>Efficient document management cannot be done manually without inviting risk into the document&#8217;s lifecycle. Moreover, the manual process usually involves using a remote copy machine that results in substantial wasted time. If only one trip per day to a copy machine is eliminated, the savings per year/per worker approach $800. Further, the only way a rubber stamp can truly be effective at preserving the intent or purpose of a document is to obliterate part of the text &#8212; that&#8217;s not exactly a recipe for effective communication. Similarly, electronic documents like PDF can be printed with the same quality as a Word document. And that is the reason that electronic documents, like paper, should be labeled and identified when they are created.</p>
<p>Paper document management (and PDF) is based on the premise that the content and the intended purpose of the document remains intact. This means that every page of the document be marked with appropriate indicia. In the case of multiple page documents, the use of a rubber stamp is a poor choice that affords little if any secure management of control. When documents are being disseminated to multiple recipients, it important to have marking on each copy of the document that indicates the recipient, i.e., &#8220;CLIENT COPY,&#8221; &#8220;FILING COPY,&#8221; &#8220;BILLING,&#8221; etc.</p>
<p>In most business settings, this process requires a collection of standard and custom rubber stamps which is neither efficient or economic. And, they&#8217;re messy. Some enterprises have adopted the &#8220;header/footer&#8221; form of identification which, while identifying the document, offers minimal if any real protection or document security similar to the rubber stamp in the margin that is minimally effective, if at all. Others have employed the use of manually inserted and removed watermarks.</p>
<p>A multiple page paper document is often identified by using a rubber stamp on the first page of the document and, that marking is in the margin so as not to obliterate text. This is poor document management and makes the document highly susceptible to alteration of content or intent. Current generation digital copiers permit the distinction be original and duplicate to virtually disappear once the stamp is &#8220;removed&#8221; from the first page. The same issue exists with watermarks by making a simple contrast adjustment on the copier of scanner.</p>
<p>A recent review of the Epson GT-S50 scanner on Amazon noted: &#8220;. . .The Epson also has the ability to drop out colors, which is useful when scanning something printed on colored paper. It would also be useful if you need to remove a red &#8220;confidential&#8221; or &#8220;top secret&#8221; stamp from a borrowed document. <img src='http://rubberstampofplanet.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221; See the Epson GT-S50 review by W.B. Halper.</p>
<p>Document security is less than complete if placing marking in the margins of documents. The use of rubber stamps is limited, usually, to those immediately available; otherwise, the marking of any kind is not done because of inconvenience or lack of appropriate marking. Moreover, it is a manual process which adds to the inconvenience.</p>
<p>PDF files, in most cases, originate from a Word document. If the PDF file is unmarked, then the document can be printed without any restrictive indicia embedded in the text of the document. From this point, the document can be altered and rescanned to a PDF. Thus, the PDF file is no more secure than the original Word document if it is not marked in an manner that precludes alteration of the printed result. Marking PDF files at the time of creation as well as marking printed documents WHEN then are printed is the only way to reduce document security risk.</p>
<p>A simple choice can be made: Mark the document or don&#8217;t. It costs virtually nothing to do so when the process is automated. The cost can be astronomical if the document is eventually altered, misused or misinterpreted. While all the tools are part of Word, it is the StampIt automation of those features that makes this process one that is easy to implement and simple to use as an everyday process in document creation. Just as numerous document management programs seek to provide access restrictions, StampIt provides security for the paper and PDF documents we print and/or create each day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paper or electronic document identification is often overlooked because it is assumed that the document will be maintained inside the office. The lack of identification becomes the rule rather than the exception. Sometimes, the use of a rubber stamps or a watermark on the document is assumed to adequately protect it. The thought of manually marking multiple copies &#8212; and particularly every page of the document &#8212; with appropriate indicia is far too much work and therefore, dismissed. So begins the lifecycle of the unidentified paper or unmarked PDF document created from Word that will be copied approximately 19 times based on substantial published research.</p>
<p>Paper document management by rubber stamp is an insecure method that carries numerous inherent risks. Further, savings of many hours of time per year can be achieved by eliminating just one trip a day to a copy machine and using an automated document identification process. To paraphrase, preventing a draft from becoming an &#8220;original&#8221; is priceless. Unless a rubber stamp obliterates part of the content of the document, it cannot maintain the document&#8217;s integrity and keep its use consistent with the writer&#8217;s intent. Likewise, the failure to properly mark an electronic document (PDF) when it is created exposes the document to the to virtually the same risks.</p>
<p>If the content or purpose of a paper or PDF document is to be protected, each page should be marked in a manner that prohibits alteration of content or purpose. This is particularly important for multi-page documents. While a rubber stamp conveys a message, it is pretty much useless for this purpose. The use of recipient-specific marking is particularly indicated where there are different destinations for each copy of the document, i.e., &#8220;Accounting,&#8221; &#8220;Sales,&#8221; &#8220;Finance,&#8221; etc.</p>
<p>This form of paper document management is usually accomplished in one of three ways: rubber stamps, header/footer text or manually inserted and removed watermarks. If the rubber stamp form of document management is used with any degree of effectiveness, the stamp collection is exhaustive and unwieldy. While the header or footer text affords some degree of identification, it does not reach the level of true document protection. Watermarks by their nature afford some protection. However, they must be manually applied and removed and are subject to drop-out by copier and scanner settings.</p>
<p>When a multi-page document is marked with a rubber stamp on just the first page or marked with a visible gray watermark, the document&#8217;s purpose or content can be easily changed. While this may not be of concern most of the time, when it does happen, there is always the &#8220;we could have&#8230;..&#8221; Today&#8217;s scanner and copiers make it possible to duplicate a document to the degree that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the &#8220;copy&#8221; and the original.</p>
<p>Document alteration was highlighted in the following scanner review: &#8220;. . .The Epson GT-S50 scanner also has the ability to drop out colors, which is useful when scanning something printed on colored paper. It would also be useful if you need to remove a red &#8220;confidential&#8221; or &#8220;top secret&#8221; stamp from a borrowed document. <img src='http://rubberstampofplanet.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221; on Amazon.com by W.B. Halper.</p>
<p>Document security is less than complete if placing marking in the margins of documents. The use of rubber stamps is limited, usually, to those immediately available; otherwise, the marking of any kind is not done because of inconvenience or lack of appropriate marking. Moreover, it is a manual process which adds to the inconvenience.</p>
<p>Frequently, information workers are turning to PDF files as providing greater document security. While this is a partial solution, a PDF does not protect the document from unauthorized duplication or misuse. Printing from a PDF file can and usually is as good in quality as that printed from Word. If the document is not marked when put into PDF format, it is no more secure when printed, than it was from its Word format. Non-contrast sensitive marking and embedded indicia done at the time the document is printed or created is the only secure method of paper document management.</p>
<p>A simple choice can be made: Mark the document or don&#8217;t. It costs virtually nothing to do so when the process is automated. The cost can be astronomical if the document is eventually altered, misused or misinterpreted. While all the tools are part of Word, it is the StampIt automation of those features that makes this process one that is easy to implement and simple to use as an everyday process in document creation.

<p>Let us go over the different lucrative methods, both traditional and modern ways of brand deployment that you can use from your medium sized business up to your fully established, dynamic one. Before we proceed to some forms of branding, we will go over some branding basics. There are times when branding becomes so overwhelming for some that the focus of their brand becomes increasingly vague.

One of the good old reliable ways that is often overlooked by many businesses is the physical and tangible aspect of the product, one that the consumer can actually hold in their hands. We&#8217;re talking about anything from packaging, the actual product, or any informational material about the product. If you choose to follow this method, then the best way you can achieve this type of brand deployment and save money at the same time on informational material or packaging is though alphabet rubber stamps.</p>
<p>Rubber stamps are very flexible, durable and affordable compared to printing that it&#8217;s mind-boggling why other businesses are not using them as an effective branding tool. You can check online and you&#8217;ll find that office and business stamps are available in a wide array of choices. There are address stamps that are particularly useful if your business requires frequent sending of mails. You can even choose to personalize your stamps with your business logo in it to give your customers a personal touch, making them feel that your product is a byproduct of human efforts and is not just something that they can buy online.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using rubber stamps or manual watermarks for business document management can be a tough habit to break. And, it can pose serious risks to your document security and data &#8212; and your business &#8212; particularly where there are multiple copies of a multi-page document that must be identified and distributed. Finally, if the document is given on to another person, how do you ensure its purpose and intent are maintained?</p>
<p>Efficient document management cannot be done manually without inviting risk into the document&#8217;s lifecycle. Moreover, the manual process usually involves using a remote copy machine that results in substantial wasted time. If only one trip per day to a copy machine is eliminated, the savings per year/per worker approach $800. Further, the only way a rubber stamp can truly be effective at preserving the intent or purpose of a document is to obliterate part of the text &#8212; that&#8217;s not exactly a recipe for effective communication. Similarly, electronic documents like PDF can be printed with the same quality as a Word document. And that is the reason that electronic documents, like paper, should be labeled and identified when they are created.</p>
<p>If a paper document is to be secure and protected &#8211; particularly one with multiple pages &#8211; each page of the document must be identified in a manner that precludes alteration. Certainly a rubber stamp doesn&#8217;t work here. Where multiple copies of the document are intended for different recipients, those copies should be similarly marked to indicate the recipient and/or purpose, e.g. &#8220;Client Copy,&#8221; &#8220;Marketing,&#8221; &#8220;Privileged,&#8221; Not for Release, etc. Otherwise, at least the first page of each copy needs to be stamped &#8211; which is a risky practice.</p>
<p>In most business settings, this process requires a collection of standard and custom rubber stamps which is neither efficient or economic. And, they&#8217;re messy. Some enterprises have adopted the &#8220;header/footer&#8221; form of identification which, while identifying the document, offers minimal if any real protection or document security similar to the rubber stamp in the margin that is minimally effective, if at all. Others have employed the use of manually inserted and removed watermarks.</p>
<p>A multiple page paper document is often identified by using a rubber stamp on the first page of the document and, that marking is in the margin so as not to obliterate text. This is poor document management and makes the document highly susceptible to alteration of content or intent. Current generation digital copiers permit the distinction be original and duplicate to virtually disappear once the stamp is &#8220;removed&#8221; from the first page. The same issue exists with watermarks by making a simple contrast adjustment on the copier of scanner.</p>
<p>A recent review of the Epson GT-S50 scanner on Amazon noted: &#8220;. . .The Epson also has the ability to drop out colors, which is useful when scanning something printed on colored paper. It would also be useful if you need to remove a red &#8220;confidential&#8221; or &#8220;top secret&#8221; stamp from a borrowed document. <img src='http://rubberstampofplanet.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221; See the Epson GT-S50 review by W.B. Halper.</p>
<p>Rubber stamps, usually placed in the margins of paper documents, do not provide paper document security or protection. In order to use a rubber stamp, it has to exist (i.e., the appropriate stamp) and manual application of the stamp is not only inconvenient, but it costs time and money in addition to the permanent risk being created.</p>
<p>Frequently, information workers are turning to PDF files as providing greater document security. While this is a partial solution, a PDF does not protect the document from unauthorized duplication or misuse. Printing from a PDF file can and usually is as good in quality as that printed from Word. If the document is not marked when put into PDF format, it is no more secure when printed, than it was from its Word format. Non-contrast sensitive marking and embedded indicia done at the time the document is printed or created is the only secure method of paper document management.</p>
<p>Not identifying the purpose or intent of a document is a choice that is made when the document is created. Leaving the document unidentified is taking an unnecessary risk. The costs of such risk can be astronomical not to mention the resulting embarrassment and/or inconvenience. All the tools to effect proper paper and PDF document labeling and branding are there. StampIt makes the simple, smart and easy to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When documents are printed they are often done so without any branding or layer of protection. In a shared-printer environment, this is even more of a regular happeningwhere they are left in printer trays for others to see or whatever. Information workers, temporary employees, guests and others may be walking by the printer where the document(s) are in full view.</p>
<p>Where the is no regular policy and user-friendly method of document protection, printed documents are subject to misuse and misinterpretation. While this may not be a common event, when it does happen &#8212; and a document is misused &#8212; the price can be inestimable.</p>
<p>This situation is only too familiar in any number of companies and recurs every hour of every day. Paper documents are printed for review, collaboration, sharing or dissemination. The startling fact is that they are all too often printed without any type of identification indicating the intent or purpose of the document. For over a hundred years, a common practice was to use a rubber stamp in the top margin of the page. That was, and mostly is, the most common form of paper document management.</p>
<p>The most efficient method of dealing with paper and PDF document management is to identify and label the document at the time it is printed. In the case of a PDF, the document marking should be done at the time it is created from Word. This requires both a method that is easily implemented and a policy requiring the action. If the PDF is not labeled or identified when it is created from Word, it requires a manual use manipulation and a PDF editing program to mark or stamp the document. Moreover, if the user wants to mark only selected pages of the PDF, each must be done individually which can be a tedious process.</p>
<p>It is essential that your paper document management process be able to make your document unmodifiable. Additionally, it should be able to mark one, all or selected pages of any document. And your method must be dynamic in allowing the instant creation of markings to meet any requirements.</p>
<p>Marginal stamping of documents is ineffective for complete protection. This is the primary shortcoming of the rubber stamp which is very outdated. Preventing the misuse or misunderstanding of a document requires marking that cannot be removed. It further requires an user-friendly interface that facilitates and promotes use.</p>
<p>The use of a form of document marking known as &#8220;visible watermarks&#8221; is viable in low-traffic offices when the risk of misuse is low. However, this form of marking is far from secure. Using almost any one of the present-day photocopiers and increasing the contrast will result in an unmarked document that is virtually impossible to differentiate from the &#8220;original.&#8221; Using color offers better protection but is still subject to removal with current available technology.</p>
<p>Hollow/Outline, embedded non-contrast sensitive marking is considered the most secure form of document identification. This is where the stamp or legend is embedded in the text and is the same color as the text of the document. This prevents the stamp from being removed by a copier setting or just being covered up as can be done with a rubber stamp in the margin. The hollow/outline form of marking becomes part of the document itself &#8211; it cannot be removed. This is the most effective form of paper document management in an overall document management policy.</p>
<p>Automated document marking is the answer for eliminating the use of rubber stamps for paper <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?7-Reasons-Not-to-Use-Rubber-Stamps-For-Document-Marking&amp;id=3445897">document marking</a>. StampIt combines the power of a word-processor with the clout of your printer. It&#8217;s like having instant, total access to <a href="http://www.stampitnet.com/features.html">any custom rubber stamp</a> that is completely automated.</p>
