How to Change the Inkpad in Your Self-Inking Stamp

1. 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!
2. Place the Trodat stamp on your sheet of paper. Make sure the Trodat logo is facing away from you.
3. Find the insert that indicates the current pad. It will be rectangular and thin.
4. Press down on the stamp while simultaneously pressing the buttons on the sides of the top of the stamp.
5. 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.
6. After you’ve unwrapped your new inkpad, insert it into the chamber with the ink side face up.
7. Press down on the top of the stamp to lock the inkpad into place.
8. 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!
