A sheet in accordance with the present invention includes sheets as print mediums for a printer and a package member surrounding the sheets which have been stacked up. The sheet package is configured so that the sheets can be set in the printer together with the package member exposing part of the sheets. The package member is integrally provided with a flap part which can expose part of the sheets by being opened when the sheet package is set in the printer and cover the exposed part of the sheets by being closed when the sheet package is not used.

A personalized product producing system enables customers to order a personalized product, such as a name card, a stamp, or a sticker/label, inexpensively and conveniently. Customers operate their own cellular phones to send personalized information to be engraved in a stamp or printed on a name card or sticker/label in the form of e-mail to a host computer. The host computer edits the information and sends personalized product producing data to a stamp personalized product producing device. The personalized product producing device produces a personalized product based on the received data.

A stamp member includes a porous resin and a film adhered together by an acrylic adhesive The film is peeled from the porous resin after stamp making operations have been completed for forming a stamp image on a stamp surface of the porous resin Therefore, the stamp surface of the porous resin is protected from fine dirt and dust. Also, because there is no need to proved a film between a stamp making device and the stamp member 11 at stamp making operations, stamp making operations are simplified.

Stamp member and stamp unit using the stamp member

A stamp making apparatus of the invention makes a stamp plate on a stamp material by applying light thereto through a draft sheet. The stamp making apparatus includes an attachment that can be attached to and removed from a predetermined position facing the draft sheet and has a mounting hole where a holder having a stamp material can be inserted into and removed from. A plurality of mounting holes are formed in the attachment so that the holders having various types and shapes can be inserted into and removed from directly or via an auxiliary attachment. Further, the attachment includes a first adjusting device, which moves the mounting hole in a longitudinal direction of the draft sheet (in the Y direction), and a second adjusting device, which moves the mounting hole in a lateral direction (in the X direction), so that the position of the mounting hole in the attachment can be finely adjusted.

A printing sheet used in a stamp includes a porous layer in which ink can be impregnated and a fibrous layer provided to a side of the porous layer opposite to the pattern. The porous layer carries a pattern on a surface thereof, the pattern including a non-print portion which blocks the permeation of the ink and a print portion which allows the permeation of the ink. The fibrous layer prevents the deformation of the porous layer. The fibrous layer is so constituted that ink can be impregnated therein.

Printing sheet for stamp

A stamp making device includes (1) a data input unit, (2) an original printing unit which forms an original film by printing an image on a transparent film based on inputted image data, (3) an irradiation unit including a transparent support plate and a light source, (4) an original feeder which feeds the original film on the transparent support plate, and (5) a biasing unit which biases the porous resin member against the original film on the transparent support plate. The irradiation unit applies the light to the porous resin member through the original film, in a state the porous resin member is biased to the original film by the biasing unit, so that an irradiated portion of the porous resin member is melted.

Stamp making device

A method for manufacturing a pattern sheet for plate-making capable of easily forming a positive image through the use of a photographic negative film. In this method, as a first step, a negative film with a printed negative image is placed on a surface of a light transmission sheet carrying a photosensitive color-developing layer containing a photosensitive color-developing material which makes a color development in response to light. Further, as a second step, the light is applied thereto from the negative film side after the first step. As a result of the application of the light, a color development takes place in the photosensitive color-developing layer due to the light passing through the negative image, thus causing a positive image to be formed on the surface of the light transmission sheet.

Method for manufacturing pattern sheet for plate-making

A stamp member including a first porous sheet in which ink can be impregnated, and a second porous sheet which is harder than the first porous sheet. A compressive strength of the second porous sheet being not less than 5 kg/cm.sup.2 when the second porous resin is compressed by 25%. The first and second porous sheets are fixed to each other at a plurality of points.

Stamp member having a porous sheet

A stamp unit has a transparent film which protects a stamp surface of the stamp material at the time of transportation of the stamp unit, during storage until a user starts to produce a stamp after purchasing the stamp unit, and during production of the stamp plate. The transparent film is thermally adhered on the lower edge of the holder member and is capable of protecting the surface of the stamp material until the start of the stamp printing. The transparent film is capable of easily and economically adhering to the stamp material without adhering to a thermal adhesion jig.
