DYMO DateMark Electronic Date/Time Stamper (47002)

• Electronic date-and-time stamper
• Large LCD for easy reading
• Programmable calendar
• Prints 4- or 6-digit sequential numbers
• Uses 4 AA batteries (not included) and 1 lithium coin cell (included)

No other stamp does automatic date/time in such a small portable package. Unlike a regular rubber stamp, you never have to set the date again after first use, and it also can stamp the time.

There are 4 fields available date, time, message, and 4-digit or 6-digit serialized number. You can have any combination except if you use the 4-digit counter then you can have up to 2 of date/time/message, if you use the 6-digit counter then you can have up to 1 of date/time/message. For details, the manual is on Dymo's website.

The size appears to be regular 12 point font, similar to the really old cashier's receipt in purple ink, but cleaner, darker, and crisper. It takes about 2 seconds to print the date/time/etc. The only thing I had to get used to was the time format. For example, 3PM is printed out as "P03:00". There's a 24-hour time format, but I haven't used it. Other features that I haven't used are the alarm, and the locks. I have had no mechanical problems with the unit. One can refill the ink roller with a couple of drops in inkpad ink, so I imagine that you could use any color after the original purple color runs out.

I use the Dymo Datemark at work on papers that require a date stamp (e.g. packing slips, invoices received) , but also on drawings, schematics, printouts, repair tags and notes to record when a certain thing was done and how old some items really are. Makes recordkeeping a lot easier, especially for someone who never keeps in mind what the date is. Great product.

I like the convenience of this date printer.

I've wanted something that I could use to stamp groceries as I purchase them. Some items stay in the cabinet too long and I've wished I knew how old they really were, before I tried to use it, or toss it. A paper tape label maker would have been too expensive for that purpose. I think this will work out well.

I like to stamp invoices with the date I paid the bill so this will be perfect for that.

It's also convenient as a desk clock. I didn't understand why it had an alarm until I realized it was so folks could get rid of any clock they have on their desk and use this as a replacement.

I wish designers could design some better interfaces for electronic tools. It's a general complaint with most items like this though.

I would have preferred red ink and larger type. This is too small for me to read without good light, or my reading glasses. Just a touch larger and I'd be fine. I'd rather it be red so it would stand out more, and also a black or blue ink would show through the stamp if I stamped over it.

Since there is an ink roller I guess I could try to get the purple ink out of it and load it up with red. It would probably take quite a while to work the purple out of the roller but I might do it. Too bad they don't offer optional rollers in other colors.

It does what I want though.

It should really come with a tray to stand in. As it is, the letters are exposed on the bottom at all times. They are slightly recessed, but I'm sure I'd get some ink on the carpet if I were to drop it, and it probably will eventually pick up dust through the stamp opening.

I can't believe the Amazon price. I usually find Amazon to have the best prices. I was going to an Office Supply store anyway and thought I'd look at it before I ordered it. It was almost half the Amazon price at the store, and it wasn't on sale either.

I love this thing, it is a little expensive for what I bought it for but it works perfectly. I work in a medical office and I have to put a time in and a time out for every patient that I work up and this helps me to remember to do that. I also have to put down a time for a lot of the tests that I do so I use it for that as well. I wasn't sure how big the print would be, but it is just the right size, probably comparable to a size 10 font. It also will do just time or just date or both.

Want DYMO DateMark Electronic Date/Time Stamper (47002) Discount?

I've had my DYMO stamper for a few years now...I'm actually on my second unit as the first one died on me after a couple of years.

The stamper works fine sometimes. Other times, it will print jibberish instead of the date and time. I've found that if I "pre-stamp" a scrap piece of paper prior to stamping the actual document that needs the time stamp, this seems to clear the jibberish out. It will then work for a while but then go back to the jibberish.

I've tried resetting the unit and replacing all of the batteries a few times but nothing solves the problem. Now that I'm used to it's quirkiness, I can use it almost problem free.

Unfortunately, there's no other product around in this price range that does a better job so for now, this is the only choice.

I'm a doc & I got this a part of my battle with medical records department that wants everything signed, date & timed. It saves a tremendous amount of hand writing and is of course legible. I had a hard time programing it, but the 1 800 support team was very helpful and after 30 min we got its memory cleared & set properly. When I'm in the hospital it saves a lot of work. I wish it printed a little faster, you have to wait until the mechanism stops running before you can take it off the paper, a few seconds. And when I carry it in my pocket the buttons are always getting bumped & beeping. But its worth the money! One of my colleagues saw it & got 2.
