Does anyone have a link to a supplier of the stamps used for the back of passport photos?

I have been looking but the standard stamps will not work for the small space given.

Thanks in advance

Try these guys http://www.evershinepost.com/
They are in Toronto and make custom stamp sizes. They also offer passport photos so they would have a stamp for themselves. If they can't make them I'm sure they would know where to turn.

On related note, What equipment are you using for passport photos, the nice Sony bluetooth camera/printer or other dye sub printer? Reason I ask is I've been contacted a couple of dozen times in the last 6 months for passport photos from locals in my own town and I'm contemplating whether I can offer the service with the Sony dye-sub printer I have. I'd simply want put in the CF card and print so I could offer a mobile service with a pop-up background. I know the photo specs but haven't yet looked to see if I could manage it with my printer and trimming knife.

I use an Epson desktop printer with 4 x 6 photo paper from Red River. I print on both sides right now so the required info is printed on rather than using a stamp. I would prefer just the stamp. Takes about 10 minutes to shoot, print and cut the images out. I have the clients pick them up the next day.

It is a service I don't really like to provide but I get several requests a week so I do it just for good business relations.
