The ink rollers are called:
Brayer rollers. Google search should tell you more than ever wanted to know. Except that when new there is manufacturing process crap left on the roller. Wipe the roller with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Condition by putting a small amount of paint on the roller and firmly press and drive around a bit on a piece of paper bag or cardboard. Clean the roller with whatever to get the paint off.

As with many things, takes practice. Old license plates work well. Clean roller after each use. Rubber does not like sunlight or heat.

Rubber stamp for "Trademark.. is no problem. Good timing, just sending some misc. to the engraver. I can't see any issue with recreating this. I steer a wide berth of Coca Cola, however.
If anyone sees a potential problem please let me know. If not will plate it.

The roller they offered was big. looks like it would almost roll over the entire embossing one time... I remember seeing stencils years ago at Chicago show...
Don't think they knew what they were for... thick cardboard...

Here is a pic of the type roller... about this big is what you would need...

       I talked with Creighton last night and I have a "TRADEMARK" stamp being made!  happydrinkers

       The letters are such an important part of an embossed machine, the more detail the better.
       Will work with my painter and post the results (if positive).
       I also ordered a rubber stamp with my contact information, to be marked inside the door of machines sold or serviced.

       Thanks Creighton!
