An improved rubber stamp fastening and printing device consisting of operatively magnetic or veritable magnetic stamp-die components and an outer magnetic connecting mount, utilizing distinct vertical magnets imbedded within a transparent material. Both the stamp-dies and mount are provided with suitable magnetic means with which to maintain a secure, yet easily manipulable magnetic bond; where these components are themselves composed of are either magnet, or ferromagnetic materials. The combination between strong slender vertical magnets or and the viewable negative spaces within the compositional translucent material create a superior transparency through the mount; this ability to directly view the see the magnetically fastened stamp-dies from reverse, allows for a very high degree of control and ability to accurately place these magnetic stamp-dies during the process of stamping. Flexible magnet or ferromagnetic sheeting can be cut by hand into various shapes and attached to the mount in order to function as alternative hand-cut magnet printing stamp-dies. Structural expansion of the stamp mount can result in a sheet storage device for holding a plurality of magnetic stamp member-dies for use in a binder system for example.
