How to Change the Ink Pad in Your Self-Inking Stamps

Self-Inking Stamps – Oh No! I’m Out of Ink

Self-inking stamps are great for businesses and an easy-to-use artistic tool that can help you personalize any document or craft. They’re convenient, clean, affordable, and without an extra pad of ink to carry around, mobile. However, what do you do when they run out of ink? Don’t worry! Changing the ink pad in a self-inking stamp is easy. No need to throw away that stamp. Follow these simple steps to change the inkpad in your Trodat Printy stamp.

The Materials You’ll Need

Your Troday Printy Self-Inking Stamp
A replacement pad of ink
A sheet of paper – any kind will do, even a Sticky-Note

How to Change the Inkpad in Your Self-Inking Stamp

First, you need to purchase a replacement pad for your self-inking stamp. It’s of the utmost importance you buy the right size! To avoid mistakes, simply match the model number of your Trodat stamp to the model number of the replacement pad. For ease of use, all the replacement pads and model numbers are available on our website. Make sure you get the color you want!
Place the Trodat stamp on your sheet of paper. Make sure the Trodat logo is facing away from you.
Find the insert that indicates the current pad. It will be rectangular and thin.
Press down on the stamp while simultaneously pressing the buttons on the sides of the top of the stamp.
Now turn the stamp around so the logo is facing you and press the button below the logo. The ink pad will pop out from the other side! Pull it out and recycle it. All Trodat ink is environmentally friendly and non-toxic.
After you’ve unwrapped your new inkpad, insert it into the chamber with the ink side face up.
Press down on the top of the stamp to lock the inkpad into place.
Do a few test stamps on your sheet of paper. Once it’s printing solidly and clearly, you are ready to use your Trodat Self-Inking Stamp again!

50 Uses for Rubber Stamps – Part 7 (Children)

We’re back with part 7 of our 50 Uses for Rubber Stamps series! Part 7 brings great ideas for children. Here are some more great ideas to help you narrow down what kind of stamp you need for your children.

37. Sign artwork

Many children love arts and crafts. A custom rubber stamp is the perfect way for your child to easily sign their artwork and craft projects. You wouldn’t want them getting mixed up with someone else’s. Keep track of your child’s treasured memories.

38. Decorate children’s bedroom walls

Children love “decorating” walls. Why not let them do so in a constructive way? Use your custom rubber stamp to help them decorate their bedroom walls. It’s quick, easy, and mess free. No more finger paints, stained clothes, or frantic cleanup jobs. Channel all that energy and creativity and make memories that will last a lifetime!

39. Customize t-shirts

Our custom clothing stamps are perfect for decorating t-shirts, leggings, and any other clothing your child desires. Channel that creative energy into a project for the whole family to enjoy. Help them make presents for mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, brothers, and sisters. Decorate their own clothes for the first day of school! Who knows, maybe one day they’ll become a fashion designer!

40. Mark clothing

Children have a habit of leaving things in odd places. Use a clothing stamp to mark their clothing with their name, address, and phone number. Next time they leave a sweater at the mall or school it will be easy for a good samaritan to return the wayward clothing.

41. Temporary tattoos

Kids love decorating themselves almost as much as they love decorating walls and clothing. Temporary tattoos are a fun addition to any birthday party or sleepover. Use a custom hand stamp to give the kids fun temporary tattoos that will easily come off will a little soap and water. Rather than going out and buying expensive temporary tattoos that are complicated and messy to apply, just get a custom hand stamp that is mess free, safe, simple, and takes only an instant to apply. It’s a win-win for everyone.

5 Tips for Re-Inking Pre-Inked and Self-Inking Stamps

When it comes to taking care of your Trodat pre-inked and self-inking stamps, there isn’t a whole lot to do. However, there are a few simple yet crucial steps that you should take if you want to extend the life of your stamps. The first is to store the stamps in a location that doesn’t get too hot or too cold – that one’s simple. The second step is to refill the ink in your self-inking and pre-inked stamps whenever you notice that the impressions are becoming less vivid than they used to be. This step is a bit more involved, so we’re here to give you some pointers to use when it comes time to re-ink:

Don’t delay re-inking. It’s important that you don’t keep using your stamp once the impression starts to fade. Letting the stamp get too low on ink may interfere with its ability to properly absorb ink moving forward.
Make sure you choose the correct ink for your stamp model and type. For instance, if you’re using the Ideal 200 self-inking stamp, purchase ink that says it is for use in this stamp in the description. As a rule of thumb, only oil-based inks should be used in pre-inked stamps and only water-based inks should be used in self-inking stamps. Using the incorrect formula for your stamp type can damage it and may even render it unusable.
Re-ink your stamp using the same ink color you were using previously. For both pre-inked and self-inking stamps, switching to a different ink color isn’t a good idea. There will probably be some of the old color left and it will blend with the new one, likely leading to a less-than-desirable color.
Check the ink pad. In addition to re-inking, keep in mind that you may also need to replace the ink pad if you have a self-inking stamp. These pads can wear out naturally over time with use.
Slowly add ink to pre-inked and self-inking stamps. Adding just a few drops at a time will prevent overfilling and keep you from wasting ink. If you accidentally add a bit too much, gently dab it off the surface using a paper towel.

By following these tips and tricks, you’ll keep your self-inking and pre-inked stamps in top condition, allowing you to use them for years to come.
