Re-Inking Your Stamp
We offer a full line of refill inks for each stamp type that we sell. Re-inking your stamps will keep your impression vivid,
Re-Inking Tips:
 Carefully
choose the ink that you use when refilling yoru stamp, as an incorrect
ink formula can cause permament damage to your stamp. Use only
water-based inks when refilling self inking stamps, and oil-based
inks when refilling pre-inked stamps.
Always refill your stamps with the same ink color that you are already using.
Refill
your stamps when you notice that the impression has begun to fade.
Allowing your stamp to dry out may prevent it from absorbing ink
correctly in the future.
Do
not overfill your self-inking stamps. Begin with only a few drops, and
allow the ink to absorb completely into the pad. If additional ink is
needed, add it slowly. If any ink pools on the surface of the pad,
remove it by blotting the surface with a paper towel before replacing
the pad.
Self
Inking stamps use a self-contained ink pad that may wear out over time.
If your ink pad is in poor condition, you may wish to purchase a replacement ink pad.
Self
Inking stamp color may be changed by replacing the ink pad with one of
another color. After removing the old ink pad, blot the rubber dies
(wording) with a paper towel to remove any remaining ink before
inserting the new ink pad. |

Cleaning Your Stamp
After
extended use, paper fiber and dust may collect on the surface of your
stamp, causing a fuzzy impression. To remove this material, expose the
rubber die (wording) and use a sheet of paper to absorb the collected
ink. Press a piece of Scotch tape firmly onto the die and lift to remove
excess dust. Repeat this step as needed.
Pad
Free stamps include a dust cover to help prevent the collection of dust
from desktops and other surfaces. Please keep this cover in place when
the stamp is not in use. |
