How to Replace a Self-Inking Stamp Pad

Trodat self-inking stamps like the one you might have gotten from Rubber Stamp Station are a convenient tool that make stamping mess-free and easy! Whether you’re a scrapbooker or use stamps for business purposes, self-inking stamps are a must-have. But like any other stamp, self-inking stamps still run out of ink. But fear not! You don’t have to purchase a whole new stamp – you just have to replace the ink! So here’s some handy instructions on how to replace a self-inking stamp pad.

Replace a Self-Inking Stamp Pad in 9 Easy Steps!

Replacing the ink pad in stamps like the lightweight Trodat Micro Printy Stamps might seem complicated, but it’s extremely simple with these easy steps:

  1. Purchase your ink replacement pad! Make sure it’s the pad that is made for your stamp. All of the replacement stamps can be found on our website.
  2. Place your stamp on a sheet of scrap paper with the Trodat logo facing away from you and locate the thin rectangular insert that indicates the ink pad that is currently in there.
  3. Push down on the top of the stamp while pressing the small buttons on the side of the top of the stamp.
  4. Rotate the stamp so the Trodat logo is now facing away from you and press the button below the logo. You should see the ink pad pop out slightly!
  5. Pull out the ink pad.
  6. Unwrap your new ink pad and insert it into the slot. Make sure the ink side is facing up!
  7. Press down on the top again to click the pad into place.
  8. Do a few test prints on some scrap paper to make sure you inserted it correctly. 
  9. Please recycle your old ink pad! All of Trodat’s ink is non-toxic!

4 Secrets to a More Efficient Workspace

Pre-Inked Rubber Stamps

Whether you work from home or in a traditional office setting, organization and efficiency are key when it comes to creating a productive workspace. If your work area is feeling a bit jumbled, it’s time to make some changes that will allow you to get more done each day:

  1. Ditch inefficient office supplies – You may have never considered it, but using inefficient office supplies can seriously hold you back in the workplace by causing you to waste time and energy. Therefore, you should opt for office supplies that are made with user-friendliness and efficiency in mind, such as pre-inked rubber stamps from Rubber Stamp Station. Because they come with ink already in them, these innovative rubber stamps allow you to skip a step in the stamping process. Furthermore, adding pre-inked rubber stamps to your office supply collection will save you from having to write out dates, addresses, messages and much more!
  2. Try a standing desk – It’s no secret that sitting all day long is hard on the body. In fact, research has shown that standing while you work is far better for your health and your mental clarity. To see if being on your feet at work makes a difference in your productivity level, try out a standing desk. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – it could even be a dresser! It just has to allow you to do your work comfortably while standing.
  3. Invest in a supportive chair – For times when you have to sit down at work, you’ll want to choose an ergonomic office chair so that you aren’t distracted from your duties by back pain. Just make sure the chair isn’t so comfortable that it puts you to sleep!
  4. Keep your desk clear – Another way to increase your workplace efficiency is to declutter your desk. When you have too many items in your workspace, it can be overwhelming and keep you from being able to focus. So instead of placing every single office supply you own on your desktop, keep only what you use every day here. Store everything else in labeled drawers so you can find things when you need them.

While these steps may seem too good to be true, they really can work wonders for your efficiency at work. But don’t take our word for it – try them out for yourself! And while you’re at it, be sure to read about how our portable rubber stamps can also make your job easier.

Jumpstart Your Productivity with Pre-Inked Rubber Stamps & Other Supplies

If you’re ready to be more efficient at your job, a good first step is to order pre-inked rubber stamps and other high-quality office supplies from Rubber Stamp Station.

The Evolution of Trodat Rubber Stamps

Trodat Rubber Stamps

If you know anything about rubber stamps, chances are you’ve heard the name “Trodat” before. Over the past century, this stamp company has become world-renowned for producing high-quality rubber stamps using innovative methods that minimize environmental impact. But just as Rubber Stamp Station didn’t obtain its reputation for offering quality products and unbeatable service overnight, Trodat took some time to build its empire. In case you’re interested in learning about where this company originated and how Trodat rubber stamps came to be so popular, here’s a brief history of the brand:

  • It all started in 1912 when a man named Franz Just opened a stamp manufacturing business in Vienna, Austria.
  • After many years of trial and error, a plastic date stamp was created in 1947 with the word “Trodat” on its label. This primitive version of the modern Trodat rubber stamp was exported to Switzerland and Germany.
  • In 1951, the stamp maker’s headquarters was moved to Wels, Austria. This new location allowed for increased production and exportation, making it possible for the small company to grow.
  • Finally, in 1960, Trodat became a registered product brand. A bit later in the decade, the company was officially established under the same name.
  • Trodat’s first major success came in 1976 with the release of its initial model of the best-selling Printy stamp. This was the first ever self-inking stamp made of plastic, so you can imagine how big a deal it was when it came out!
  • In 1996, Trodat introduced the first version of its Professional model, revolutionizing the design and features of office rubber stamps.
  • By 1999, Trodat had sold 100 million of its Printy rubber stamps worldwide. Just nine years later, Trodat doubled its sales by selling over 200 million Printy stamps around the globe.
  • In 2008, yet another ingenious product was released by Trodat – the Mobile Printy. This portable pocket stamp, which can be operated seamlessly with one hand, became an instant best-seller with one million units sold worldwide in the first year.
  • The Printy got an eco-friendly makeover in 2011 when Trodat came out with the Original Printy 4.0, a stamp that is climate-neutral as standard. Releasing such a stamp proved Trodat’s commitment to preserving the environment.

As you can see, Trodat is a company that is always working to make its products more efficient and user-friendly. That’s why we here at Rubber Stamp Station are proud to carry a wide variety of Trodat rubber stamps!

3 Ways Medical Rubber Stamps Can Benefit Your Practice

Medical Rubber Stamps

Operating a medical practice is hard work – there’s always something to be done, and with countless patients coming and going each day, it’s easy to become disorganized. However, it’s crucial to maintain organization to ensure that patient bills, medical records and other vital paperwork is not lost. Plus, items around the facility need to be labeled clearly so that staff and patients can easily tell where things are.

Whether you’re a family doctor, a dentist or a veterinarian, medical rubber stamps can help you and the rest of your team keep order in the office. Here’s how:

  1. They’ll make paperwork easier – Running a medical practice involves dealing with piles of paperwork. Between filing away copies of bills, entering patient information into the system and faxing over prescriptions, there’s a lot to keep track of. As a result, you’ll want to have a system for indicating what has been done with each document. Our Trodat two-color message stamps are the perfect devices for the job! They’ll allow you to mark paperwork quickly with phrases such as “PAID,” “FAXED” and “ENTERED” so there’s never any question about the status of a document or bill.
  2. They’ll simplify the process of labeling drawers, cabinets, etc. – In addition to helping your staff keep paperwork sorted, medical rubber stamps can assist your team in labeling things around the building. We’ve got over 25 pages of medical symbols in our logo library so that you can indicate where staff or patients should look to find items from a thermometer to a trash can.
  3. They’ll allow you to give clear written instructions to other staff members – Another great thing about medical rubber stamps is that using them will prevent disasters related to unclear handwriting. After all, messages and symbols are far more straightforward when they’re stamped in a readable font than when they’re written by hand in a rush.

Clearly, medical rubber stamps are a great investment if you’re interested in cutting down on wasted time, confusion and mistakes at your medical practice.

Customize Your Medical Rubber Stamps Online Today!

Are you ready to introduce a greater sense of organization into your medical office? It’s time to create personalized medical rubber stamps using our WizardDesign portal! Once you’ve chosen a template, check out the “Medical” category in our logo library or upload your own logo. Then, finish customizing your design with text and head to the checkout!

So if you’ve sent your kid to camp for the summer, it’s a nice gesture to send thank you cards to the camp counselors and organizers to show your appreciation for their hard work and commitment to giving your child a summer he/she won’t soon forget. To make the card making process easy and cheap, we recommend investing in a “thank you” rubber stamp. Ready to customize yours? Just choose a text stamp model, enter your text and play around with the font and ink color until you’re satisfied with the design!

You’ll love our selection of the best portable rubber stamps on the market! Whether you’re working from home, in the office or in the field, these stamps will allow you to add your signature, the date and time and other pieces of vital information to any document in mere seconds. Here are a few details about some of our best portable rubber stamps:

  • The Trodat 9411 Mobile Printy Pocket Stamp – This small but mighty pyramid-shaped rubber stamp is uniquely designed for travel. It will fit into the smallest of spaces, which is why it’s earned the title of “pocket stamp!” Furthermore, users only need to have one hand free to open, use and close the stamp, making it the perfect tool for those who often juggle several tasks at once. This particular model of the Mobile Printy has an imprint size of 9/16” x 1-1/2”, so it’s the appropriate choice if you need to stamp just a few short lines of text or a small image.
  • The Trodat 9413 Mobile Printy Pocket Stamp – This portable rubber stamp has all of the same great characteristics as the 9411 Mobile Printy. The only difference is that the imprint size on this model is a bit larger – 7/8” x 2-3/8” – meaning it’s better suited to bigger stamping jobs.
  • The 4750 Printy Self-Inking Dater – With a text plate size of 1” x 1-5/8”, this rectangular dater is streamlined enough to bring with you anywhere. Whether you’re at work, home or out and about, having this stamp along will save you from having to pull out a pen and write the date by hand.
  • The 46145 Printy Self-Inking Dater – This dater delivers the same great quality and portability as the 4750 Printy – it will fit into any briefcase or pocketbook and deliver thousands of crisp impressions! What sets it apart from the 4750 Printy is that it’s circular instead of rectangular and includes a text plate that is 1-3/4” in diameter.
