Brother Custom Self-Inking Stamp 1850 – 0.71″ × 1.97″
Compact Professional Custom Stamp for Businesses, Offices & Everyday Use
Create a clean, professional custom impression with the Brother Custom Stamp 1850.
With an impression area of approximately 0.71″ × 1.97″ (18 × 50 mm), the Brother 1850 is an excellent compact rectangular stamp for customers who need enough space for a name, business information, address, short message, signature, logo or common office wording without requiring a larger stamp.
Brother officially specifies the 1850 stamp size as 18 × 50 mm / 0.71″ × 1.97″.
Your stamp is professionally customised using the information or artwork you provide and is supplied pre-inked and ready for use.
No separate ink pad is required.
Why Choose the Brother 1850?
The Brother 1850 is an ideal choice when you want a stamp that is:
- Compact
- Easy to store
- Comfortable for frequent use
- Large enough for several short lines of text
- Suitable for business names
- Suitable for names and professional titles
- Suitable for simple logos
- Suitable for signatures
- Suitable for office wording
- Pre-inked
- Refillable
- Designed for repeated use
It is a particularly good size for customers who do not need the additional space offered by larger Brother stamps such as the 2260 or 2770.
Important: Is This Really a Self-Inking Stamp?
The Brother 1850 is commonly described as a self-inking stamp because you can stamp repeatedly without using a separate external ink pad.
Technically, Brother describes its StampCreator products as pre-inked stamps.
This is different from a traditional mechanical self-inking stamp that rotates the rubber stamp surface onto an internal ink pad after each impression.
With the Brother StampCreator system, the ink is contained within the stamp and passes through the customised stamp surface when pressure is applied.
This means:
✓ No separate ink pad
✓ No need to re-ink before every impression
✓ Compact design
✓ Easy repetitive stamping
✓ Refillable when the ink eventually becomes faint
Brother describes its StampCreator stamps as pre-inked, refillable and fast-drying.

The Brother 1850 is highly versatile.
It can be customised with information such as:

- Company name
- Professional title
- Department
- Address
- Telephone number
- Email address
- Website
- Company registration information
- Short business message

The amount of information that can be included will depend on the length of your text, font size and whether you are including a logo.
Ideal for Business Stamps
The Brother 1850 is a great option for small and medium-sized business stamps.
For example:
DIGITAL WAVES TT
Technology & Digital Products
868-XXX-XXXX
or:
ABC COMPANY LTD.
Port of Spain, Trinidad
Tel: 868-XXX-XXXX
The exact number of lines possible will depend on the length of the information.
Ideal for Name & Title Stamps
The compact rectangular format works especially well for professional name stamps.
For example:
JOHN DOE

JANE SMITH
Accounts Department
or:
DR. JOHN DOE

This can be useful for:
- Business owners
- Managers
- Accountants
- Administrative staff
- Teachers
- Doctors
- Professionals
- Government offices
- Schools
- Organisations
- Churches
- Clubs and associations
Ideal for Address Stamps
Save time when repeatedly writing return addresses or company details.

This can be useful for:
- Envelopes
- Business correspondence
- Packages
- Receipts
- Forms
- Invoices
- Internal documents
Ideal for Common Office Stamps
The 1850 can also be customised with common administrative wording such as:

Can I Put My Company Logo on the Stamp?
Yes.
The Brother StampCreator system can reproduce suitable graphics and logos.
Brother specifically promotes the StampCreator system for creating stamps containing text, signatures, graphics, logos and other artwork.
You can request:
- Logo only
- Logo with company name
- Logo with telephone number
- Logo with website
- Logo with short business information
- Logo with name and title
The amount of information possible will depend on the size and complexity of your logo.
What Type of Logo Works Best?
For the clearest impression, we recommend providing a high-quality version of your logo.
Ideal artwork generally has:
- Clear lines
- Strong contrast
- Simple shapes
- Easily readable lettering
- Minimal fine detail
- A clean background
Suitable files may include:
- PNG
- JPG/JPEG
- Other high-resolution artwork
Higher-quality source artwork generally produces a better final stamp.
What If My Logo Has Many Colours?
The stamp does not reproduce a full-colour logo in the same way as a colour printer.
The design is converted into artwork suitable for stamping.
The entire impression will normally use the single ink colour selected for your stamp.
For example:
Black stamp
Logo and text appear in black.
Blue stamp
Logo and text appear in blue.
Red stamp
Logo and text appear in red.
Green stamp
Logo and text appear in green.
Can I Have Different Colours in One Stamp?
No.
A standard Brother 1850 stamp produces its impression using one ink colour.
For example, you cannot normally have a blue logo and black wording from the same stamp.
Separate stamps would be required if different ink colours are needed.
Can I Add a Signature?
Yes.
A signature can be converted into a custom stamp design.
Brother provides specific instructions for creating signature stamps using the StampCreator system and recommends beginning with a high-quality scanned signature for faithful reproduction.
For the best result:
- Sign clearly on a clean white background.
- Use a dark pen.
- Avoid shadows.
- Take or scan a high-quality image.
- Submit the clearest version available.
Important Information About Signature Stamps
A signature stamp should be stored securely.
Anyone with access to the stamp may potentially reproduce the signature.
The creation of a signature stamp does not automatically mean the stamped signature will be legally accepted for every document or transaction.
Customers are responsible for determining whether a signature stamp is acceptable for their intended use.
Banks, government departments, courts, employers and other organisations may have their own requirements.
Can I Use It as an Official Company Stamp?
The Brother 1850 can certainly be customised with company information such as:
- Company name
- Business registration information
- Address
- Logo
- Telephone number
- Website
- Department
- Authorised wording
However, purchasing a custom stamp does not automatically make it a legally recognised company seal, official seal, certification seal or statutory stamp.
If you require a stamp for:
- Banking
- Government applications
- Legal documents
- Regulatory submissions
- Professional certification
- Official company records
please confirm the required wording and format with the relevant organisation before ordering.
How Much Information Can Fit?
The Brother 1850 provides an impression area of:
18 mm × 50 mm
or:
0.71″ × 1.97″
Because this is a compact stamp, it is best suited for short-to-medium amounts of information.
There is no fixed maximum number of lines because the layout depends on:
- Length of each line
- Font size
- Font style
- Number of characters
- Logo size
- Spacing
- Alignment
- Overall design
How Many Lines Can I Put on It?
Several short lines may fit comfortably.
For example:
ABC COMPANY LTD.
Accounts Department
868-XXX-XXXX
However, a design containing:
- A large logo
- Long business name
- Full address
- Multiple telephone numbers
- Website
- Registration number
may become overcrowded at this size.
In that situation, a larger stamp such as the Brother 2260 or 2770 may be more appropriate.
Should I Choose the 1850 or 2260?
The 1850 is approximately:
18 × 50 mm
The 2260 is approximately:
22 × 60 mm
Choose the 1850 when you need:
- A more compact stamp
- A name and title
- Short company information
- A short address
- Simple office wording
- A small-to-medium logo
- A signature
- Several short lines
Choose a larger stamp such as the 2260 when you need:
- More lines
- Longer wording
- Larger logos
- More detailed company information
- More space around the design
Should I Choose the 1850 or 2270/2770?
The larger Brother 27 × 70 mm format provides significantly more design space.
The 1850 is better if your priority is:
- Compact size
- Portability
- Simpler designs
- Shorter business information
- Name stamps
- Small address stamps
- Approval or processing stamps
Choose the larger option when your design contains extensive business information or a large logo.
Does It Need an Ink Pad?
No.
The Brother 1850 is pre-inked.
There is no need to:
- Carry an external stamp pad
- Dip the stamp in ink
- Re-ink the stamp before every impression
Simply position the stamp and press down.
Does It Come Already Inked?
Yes.
Your completed custom stamp is supplied pre-inked and ready for normal use.
A separate traditional stamp pad is not necessary.
Is the Stamp Refillable?
Yes.
The Brother StampCreator stamps are refillable.
When the impression eventually becomes faint, compatible Brother refill ink can be added.
Brother recommends using genuine Brother ink when refilling its StampCreator stamps.
How Do I Know When My Stamp Needs More Ink?
Your stamp may require re-inking if:
- The impression becomes noticeably lighter
- Sections of the impression become faint
- Previously dark areas appear weak
- Impression quality gradually decreases after extensive use
Before adding ink, make sure the lighter impression is not simply being caused by uneven stamping pressure.
How Is the Brother Stamp Refilled?
Brother’s official refill procedure instructs users to:
- Remove the stamp handle.
- Place 5 drops of appropriate ink into each refill port.
- Replace the handle.
- Keep the stamp upright for approximately 3 minutes to allow the ink to spread.
Brother also warns against storing the stamp inverted or on its side after refilling because ink may flow into the handle.
Is Refill Ink Included?
Unless the product page specifically states otherwise, your purchase includes the customised stamp itself.
A separate bottle of refill ink is not automatically included.
Compatible refill ink can be purchased separately when needed.
How Long Will the Stamp Last?
Brother states that its StampCreator stamps can last for up to approximately 50,000 impressions with proper re-inking.
Important
This does not mean that the initial ink fill is guaranteed to produce 50,000 impressions.
The 50,000-impression figure refers to the potential service life of the stamp with appropriate maintenance and re-inking.
Actual performance varies based on factors such as:
- Design
- Frequency of use
- Amount of ink used by the design
- Size of solid areas
- Stamping pressure
- Surface
- Re-inking
- Storage
- General care
What Ink Colours Are Available?
Brother officially manufactures compatible 1850 stamps in:
- Black
- Blue
- Red
- Green
The colour options available for purchase from Digital Waves TT will be displayed on this product page.
Which Ink Colour Should I Choose?
Black
A versatile professional option for:
- Business information
- Addresses
- Signatures
- General office work
- Formal documents
Blue
Popular for:
- Signatures
- Business stamps
- Approval stamps
- Office documents
Blue can make a stamped item visually distinct from black printed text.
Red
Useful for attention-grabbing administrative wording such as:
- URGENT
- CANCELLED
- PAID
- CONFIDENTIAL
- RECEIVED
depending on your organisation’s preference.
Green
Can be useful for:
- APPROVED
- CHECKED
- COMPLETED
- Internal workflow stamps
The meaning assigned to a particular ink colour is determined by your organisation.
How Clear Will the Impression Be?
The Brother StampCreator system uses up to 600 dpi resolution when creating stamp artwork, helping reproduce suitable lettering, logos, graphics and signatures with good detail.
Final impression quality will also depend on:
- Artwork quality
- Font size
- Font style
- Design complexity
- Ink level
- Stamping pressure
- Surface being stamped
Can I Use Very Small Text?
Small text may be possible, but we recommend prioritising readability.
Trying to fit too much information into a small stamp can result in:
- Very small lettering
- Crowded lines
- Reduced readability
- Less professional appearance
If important information cannot be comfortably fitted into the 1850, choose a larger stamp.
Can I Use Bold Text?
Yes.
Bold lettering can often reproduce very well.
However, extremely thick text or large solid areas may consume more ink and can require careful layout.
Can I Use a Photograph?
Brother’s StampCreator system supports graphics and image-based designs, but photographs are usually less suitable than logos or line artwork for everyday business stamps.
For the best business result, we normally recommend:
- Text
- Logos
- Signatures
- Simple icons
- High-contrast graphics
- Line artwork
instead of detailed photographs.
What Surfaces Can I Stamp?
The Brother 1850 is particularly well suited for ordinary office and business applications involving:
- Paper
- Forms
- Receipts
- Invoices
- Letters
- Envelopes
- Documents
- Suitable paper-based packaging
- Cards
- Administrative paperwork
Can I Stamp Glossy Paper?
Results can vary.
Glossy and coated materials generally absorb ink more slowly than ordinary paper.
This may cause the impression to take longer to dry or make it easier to smear.
For unusual materials, we recommend testing first.
Can I Stamp Plastic?
The standard Brother stamp should primarily be considered a paper/document stamp.
Many plastics are non-porous.
On plastic, the ink may:
- Dry slowly
- Smear
- Rub off
- Fail to create a permanent mark
If you require permanent marking on plastic, contact us before ordering.
Can I Stamp Metal?
Metal is also generally non-porous.
Do not assume standard office stamp ink will create a permanent impression on metal.
A specialised marking ink or different marking system may be required.
Can I Stamp Glass?
Glass is not a typical intended surface for this type of office stamp.
The impression may take longer to dry and can smear or wipe away.
Is the Ink Waterproof?
Do not assume the standard stamp impression is waterproof, weatherproof or permanent on every surface.
For normal office documents and paper-based applications, the stamp is an excellent choice.
For specialised industrial, outdoor or permanent marking applications, contact us before placing your order.
How Do I Use the Stamp?
Using the Brother 1850 is simple.
Step 1
Place the document on a flat, firm surface.
Step 2
Position your stamp where you want the impression.
Step 3
Press the stamp straight down using even pressure.
Step 4
Lift the stamp straight upward.
Step 5
Allow the impression a short time to dry before touching or stacking documents.
How Do I Get the Best Impression?
For the clearest result:
- Use a flat surface
- Apply even pressure
- Avoid excessive force
- Avoid rocking the stamp
- Lift the stamp vertically
- Keep the stamp surface clean
- Ensure sufficient ink remains in the stamp
Why Is My Stamp Impression Blurry?
Possible causes include:
- Excessive pressure
- Rocking the stamp
- Too much refill ink
- Very porous paper
- Non-absorbent material
- Overly detailed design
- Very small text
- Heavy solid graphics
Try several impressions on normal office paper.
Why Is My Stamp Impression Too Light?
A faint impression can be caused by:
- Insufficient pressure
- Uneven pressure
- Low ink
- A surface that does not accept the ink well
If the stamp has been used extensively and the impression remains faint, it may be time to re-ink it.
How Should I Store My Stamp?
To help maintain performance:
- Keep the stamp upright
- Store it in a clean, dry location
- Keep it away from excessive heat
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
- Prevent dust from collecting on the stamp surface
- Use compatible refill ink
- Avoid harsh cleaning solvents
Brother specifically advises against storing its StampCreator stamps inverted or on their sides after re-inking.
