Can I use a rubber stamp image on my website?
karyys, here is the Inky Antics copyright page. They say: “No Inky Antics image may be mechanically reproduced or copied by any means including, but not limited to, photocopying, computer scanning and printing, using overhead or opaque projectors for enlarging or hand-copying images, or any other means.” So it looks like they do ban it, but you should e-mail them and ask, with a specific example of what you want to do. Maybe they will let you do it then.
The company logo is not on the wood-mounted rubber stamp. It is not a recognizable character like mickey mouse. I’m not looking to profit, I wanted to use the image on the header of my blog website. So I would stamp the image, scan it, upload it to my website. That’s it. I’m not trying to use it as a logo, I just thought it was nice looking. Litlenemo, any idea if inkyantics is one of those restrictive companies? I am prepared to contact them, because I want to do the right thing and not step on anyone’s toes. Any thoughts on how to go about asking properly?? Thank you for all the input, keep em coming! I’m learning a lot.
