Refill Ink for Pre-inked Stamps

Description

Every pre-inked stamp carries its own ink inside the pad, and with every stamp that supply runs a little lower, until impressions turn pale and patchy. Good news: there's no need to send it to extinction. Our refill ink tops the pad back up so your stamp prints clean, sharp and even again, for a fraction of the price of a new one.

Why the herd loves it

• Saves your stamp: revive the one you already have instead of buying a new one. Smaller cost, smaller footprint.
• Made for pre-inked stamps: oil-based ink that soaks into the pad the way it's meant to.
• 9 colours: match the exact colour your stamp started with.
• Goes the distance: one refill usually gives you another 2,000 to 3,000 impressions.

How to refill your stamp

• Pop the casing open to reach the pad. You'll find it underneath, or under a cap that lifts off.
• Dot the ink evenly over the pad, a little at a time. Go easy: an over-soaked pad makes blotchy prints.
• Close it up and let the ink sink in for 15 to 30 minutes before stamping.
• Do a few test stamps on scrap paper before anything official.

Pick the right ink

Pre-inked stamps use oil-based ink, while self-inking stamps use water-based ink. The two don't mix. Using the wrong type can damage the pad and ruin the impression. Stick to your stamp's original colour too; blending colours gives muddy, uneven results.

This refill is a perfect match for our Pre-inked Rubber Stamp. Bought your stamp somewhere else? A few brands use a special ink blend of their own, so check with the original seller that it's compatible before you order.

When is it time to refill?

• Prints look paler than they used to.
• Coverage is uneven: some parts print, others don't.
• You need extra elbow grease just to get a clear mark.

If a top-up doesn't revive it, the pad has most likely worn out for good. Time for a fresh Pre-inked Rubber Stamp.

FAQs

Which colour should I choose?
The same colour that's already in your stamp. Pick it from the colour options above.

Can I use this in a self-inking stamp?
No, self-inking stamps need water-based ink. This oil-based refill is for pre-inked stamps only.

How long before I can stamp again?
Give the pad 15 to 30 minutes to absorb the ink, then test on scrap paper first.
