Without ink, your rubber stamp may look pretty and professional, but it won’t do you much good. So what do you do when your stamp runs out of ink? Can you refill it or do you have to buy a new stamp?
Choosing ink for Trodat Stamps
When your high quality rubber stamp is in need of new ink, you’ll first want to clarify a few specifications about your stamp. First, you need to determine what brand your stamp is. We carry two brands, Trodat and Ultimark. It is important to note that the ink for these two brands is never interchangeable.
For Trodat stamps, be sure to choose a replacement pad or ink made by Trodat, not by Ultimark. If you use Ultimark ink instead, the rubber dye on your high quality rubber stamp will begin to swell because it’s not compatible with oil-based ink made by Ultimark. This will result in a poor stamp impression and a ruined rubber stamp.
Have a self-inking Trodat stamp? Lost your stamp pad or have one that has aged to a point where you can no longer use it? You need to find the replacement pad designed specifically for the model number on your stamp. Just find the correct model, choose your ink color and be on your way!
However, if your rubber stamp pad is simply dried up and out of ink, there is no need to buy a whole new pad. Just buy a bottle of Trodat refill ink. This is available in blue, black, green, violet and red. Our versatile refill ink is best kept in multiple colors with multiple pads to ensure that you always have the color of ink you need!
Choosing ink for Ultimark Stamps
If your stamp is made by Ultimark, the process is a bit simpler for you. Because all of the Ultimark stamps we sell are of the pre-inked variety, you’ll want Ultimark Stamp Ink, available in either ½ oz or 2 oz bottles.
Remember, Trodat ink can never be used with Ultimark products. While both brands make great stamps, Trodat ink is a lower viscosity than Ultimark ink, which causes Trodat ink to leak out of any Ultimark stamp. This would completely defeat the purpose of your mess-free self-inking stamps, and no one wants to be stuck cleaning that mess up!
Remember, always match the brand of ink to the brand of stamp. If you ever have any questions, our experienced rubber stamp experts are always available to help you with all of your rubber stamp needs. Do not hesitate to call us at 1 (850) 7STAMPS for assistance. Have a wonderful New Year!
