Choosing Ink for Your Trodat or Ultimark Rubber Stamp

Choosing ink

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!

Changing the ink pad in your self-inking stamp

self-inking stamp

Self-inking stamps like the self-inking Trodat “Printy” stamp make much less mess than stamps that need a separate ink pad for every use. They eliminate the need for ink pads and reduce the risk of ink stains on fingers and clothes. But self-inking stamps still require ink that needs to be changed periodically to maintain that quality, mess-free performance we all love. Replacing the dried up Trodat ink in your self-inking stamp is simple.

Purchase a Replacement Pad

It is important to ensure that the replacement pad is an exact match to your Trodat self-inking stamp. Ink pads cannot be cut to fit or used interchangeably. Simply match the model number of the stamp to the model number of the Printy replacement pad to ensure the correct fit. All of the replacement pads can be found on our website.

Necessary Supplies

  • Sheet of scrap paper
  • Trodat replacement pad
  • Your self-inking stamp

Steps to Replace the Pad

Step 1

Place your stamp on the sheet of scrap paper so that the Trodat logo faces away from you.

Step 2

Locate the thin rectangular insert that indicates the currently installed pad.

Step 3

Press down on the top of the stamp while pressing the small buttons on the sides of the top part of the stamp.

Step 4

Turn the stamp around so the Trodat logo faces you and press the button below the logo.

Step 5

You should see the ink pad pop out slightly from the other side of the stamp.

Step 6

Pull out the old ink pad.

Step 7

Unwrap the new ink pad and insert into the chamber with the inked side face up.

Step 8

Press down on the top of the stamp to lock the pad into place.

Step 9

Use the scrap paper to do a few test prints. Once you get a print with even ink coverage, you are ready to go!

Step 10

Recycle the old ink pad. All Trodat ink is non-toxic.

If you need help replacing the ink pad in your self-inking stamp, just give us a call 1 (850) 7STAMPS for assistance. Our customer service department is more than happy to help with any of your rubber stamp needs!

Quick Tips for Cleaning Ink off Skin and Fabrics

When using rubber stamps, there is always a risk of getting ink on yourself or your clothes. Don’t panic! Here are some quick tips from your Trodat rubber stamp experts at the Rubber Stamp Station on how to remove ink from your hands and clothes.

Cleaning Ink Off Bare Skin

If you get ink on your skin, you only need a few supplies to clean it off:

  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Paper towels
  • Gojo (or similar soap containing pumice)

It is simple enough to clean most of the ink off bare skin with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. Once a majority of the ink has been removed, you can simply wash the rest of it off with warm water and a soap containing pumice such as Gojo. Any leftover discoloration of the skin should disappear within 24 hours.

If you are unlucky enough to get the ink on clothing or upholstery, the cleaning process gets a little more complicated. There are several options to try.

Cleaning Ink Off Fabrics

Option 1

You will need a few supplies:

  • 1 quart warm water
  • ½ tsp. dishwashing detergent
  • 1 tbsp. ammonia

All these ingredients get mixed together to create a solution in which the stained fabric should be soaked for half an hour. After soaking, the fabric should be rinsed well in warm water. If some ink still remains, it is time to move on to the next option.

Option 2

This is not a good option for cotton or linen based fabrics, but should work on most others. The supplies you will need include:

  • 1 quart of warm water
  • 1 tbsp. white vinegar

These should be mixed to create a solution in which the stained fabric should be soaked for one hour before rinsing in warm water. If some staining still remains, there is a third option to try.

Option 3

This option requires:

  • Rubbing alcohol diluted with warm water in a 1:1 ratio
  • Paper towels or cotton balls

Dilute the rubbing alcohol with warm water and use a paper towel or cotton ball to apply the solution directly to the stain. Hold the solution over the stain until it begins to loosen. When the stain begins to loosen, gently dab it away. Depending on the size and severity of the stain, you may need to reapply this several times before the stain begins to dissipate. Once you have gotten as much of the stain out as possible, rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Keys to Success

  1. Always use warm water as this will loosen the stain and make your job easier. Cold water will set the stain and make cleaning ink stains that much more difficult.
  2. The sooner you remove the stain, the more you will be able to get out. The longer you wait, the less you will be able to salvage, especially with delicate fabrics.

We hope you get that stain out! On the other hand, you may want to leave a mark on fabric—you can use a clothing marker stamp to leave an identifying impression on clothes, towels, uniforms, etc. Never lose a garment or accessory again!

If you have any questions about our rubber stamps or the ordering process on our website, give us a call at 1 (850) 7STAMPS. We look forward to chatting with you!
