The stamp is so small can't read it once printed. It wasnt sized correctly.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thanks for sharing this with us. We’re sorry to hear that the stamp size made the text difficult to read. Readability is important, and we recommend looking into our other stamp sizes, which will also allow for an increase in text size or simplify wording, so it remains legible at the stamp scale.

Self inked stamp

Leaves lots of ink on the paper, pretty messy

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for your feedback — we're sorry to hear that the self-inking stamp you received is leaving too much ink and creating a messy impression. That’s certainly not the experience we want for you. Sometimes, new stamps can be slightly over-inked during production, but this usually levels out after a few uses. We recommend stamping a few times on scrap paper to help regulate the ink flow. If the problem continues, please send us a photo of the stamped result so we can take a closer look and arrange a replacement if needed. We’re here to make this right and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
