Midori Paintable Rotating Date Stamp

The Midori rotating date stamp cycles through all 31 days of the month – with a single device, you can date calendar grids, planner layouts and labels continuously without having to sort or swap individual number stamps. The integrated ink is oil-based and waterproof, delivering deep black, crisp impressions. If you like, you can then colour in the fields with water-based markers or pens – the ink layers perfectly without smudging.

Features

• Rotating date scale 1–31: Simply turn the wheel to set your desired day – no searching, no resetting, direct printing.
• Integrated stamp pad, oil-based and waterproof: The impression dries quickly on paper and won't smudge as you work. Up to 1,000 stamp impressions are possible without re-inking.
• Compatible with water-based media: Watercolour markers, brush pens or fibre-tip pens adhere perfectly to the dried impression – ideal for colourful calendar design or decorated planner spreads.
• Compact format (76 × 44 × 26 mm): Fits into any pencil case side pocket and is ready to hand when setting up new planner pages.
• Deep black stamp colour: High contrast on light paper, easy to read even in small date fields.

Use & Tips

• Calendar layouts in bullet journals: Set the rotating stamp to your desired day, apply consistent date headers page by page – your grid is ready in minutes rather than hours.
• Dating labels: The oil-based impression holds on archive folders, storage labels and shipping stickers, even on lightly coated papers.
• Colourful planner design: After the impression has fully dried (wait a moment), work directly over the numbers with brush pens or watercolour markers – the ink won't run and your date remains legible.
• First use: On your first impression, press gently – the pad releases slightly more ink initially than an already-broken-in stamp, and a light touch prevents smudged edges.
• Regular planner setups: If you create new pages month by month, the rotating stamp lets you achieve consistent typography without a ruler or freehand lettering.

For Planner Enthusiasts

Oil-based stamp ink performs noticeably differently in planner use than water-based alternatives: it penetrates less deeply into paper, shows minimal ghosting on the reverse, and prints more evenly on lightly coated or textured surfaces (such as watercolour paper inserts). If you plan to work with water-based ink afterwards – perhaps to colour the date fields – allow the impression to dry completely so the oil layer acts as a barrier, keeping the numbers sharp underneath your colour application. The integrated pad's 1,000-impression capacity translates to approximately three years of use at typical monthly planner frequency (roughly 30 impressions per month) without needing to refill.
