Recommended materials

It is best to use copper, stainless steel, ox horn or wood as the official seal, because when opening a company account in a bank, both red glue and photosensitive seal are soft materials, and the bank will not put them on record, so it is impossible to complete the printing procedures.

After laser printing, the photosensitive seal is directly exposed to the photosensitive material, and then oiled for later use. The imprint is stable and can keep the original lines of the document. It is suitable for pattern seals, cartoon seals and signature seals, and can be used for tens of thousands of times. It is also a durable stamp-free seal, so it is also suitable for seals with large usage.
