Is there also the option to have NO message printed, and just print the date only? Also, what year does this go to, reviews show different answers?

Mine does not have a blank message space. I did perform a quick experiment: a piece of 1" masking tape will easily attach to the bottom of the stamper and prevent the message from printing, allowing only the date to print. I bought mine in 2011 and it goes to 2016, so I presume the stamper will go 5 years beyond whatever year you buy it in (this seems typical of most year stampers).

there is no option to have no message printed and just print the date. It goes up to 2016

There is no option, message is always printed, it goes to year 2017 on the stamp. It works great!!!!!!!!love it.

If you read the insert it tells you how to set it for automatic time or just when you push green button. No date option that I could tell.

It does not have dates on it. You fill in the date, which makes it really nice because it does not matter what time of year you purchase it! Then you just buy refills for the next year!

From what I see, it will put the date on the print. You can turn that feature on or off as you desire.

Since there are no blanks, it does not appear to be any way to get the date only.

Click on the Menu button (bottom left button next to display) then click down to the settings option (last option on the list) then click down to the Write Date option and select On. But I don't know how it looks when you actually print the photo because I have no printer.

I don't have it here so I can't check the phone but is your date done properly? That is the only thing I can think of because it has always given the proper time stamp for us. sorry

Could find no date. Most is written in Japanese. Have had no problem since I began using it.

I do not check the date you say, I only put it in the printer and work fine.

I haven't printed any of our photo's yet, but on the viewing screen of the camera there isn't any date or time numbers showing. I'm still learning more about the camera from the users manual/instructions that I've printed from the Samsung web site. Sorry I can't be more specific.

I have never seen a date displayed on the tape itself. If there is a way, I don't know about it.

Yes it will print a visible date on the picture. It is a setting that you can turn ON or OFF.

I am not the manufacturer, I am just a purchaser. However, I can say that it is a blank surface so you could write directly on it, I don't think it would be easy to erase to change the message.

I order these for my mom and they all have a date printed on them. Depending on the company that sends them I know I have gotten ones that are good for a year at least without opening them. Once opened three months. Hope this helps.

Yes -- I learned this the hard way -- the first few photos I took had the date printed on the front, which irritated me. Then I read through the manual and it explained how to turn that off, which I did and everthing's fine now.

I have good news about that question. It does retain the messages for a few days in my experience and I have never lost the programming on my sign. The bad news is the time does not hold and the selections are scheduled and executed by the time stamps. If you only have 1 programmed message then its no worries because it is automatically marked as the default msg. Hope this helped and I am compelled to advise that a computer novice could have trouble getting the results they want. The computer software uses DOS scripting and a virtual modem or another way to say it, my mother would never get it working... If that doesn't scare you then it can do many things! (I plan to use it in my car when / if I do not need it in my store!) Enjoy, Greg

I wish I knew this was a 2013 I ordered. There was no year on the order and I thought no one would sell a 2013 at the end of that year!! Now I cannot return it because it has been 33 days, vs. 30. I didn't need to write an entry in my supposedly 2014 until today, October 26th.
