All Ink

If your impressions are becoming lighter, uneven, or harder to read, your stamp may need refill ink or a replacement ink pad. Always try stamping on a firm, flat surface first to make sure the issue is actually the ink.

Refill ink is added to a compatible stamp or pad to restore the existing ink supply. A replacement pad is a new pre-filled or refillable pad that replaces the pad currently inside a self-inking stamp.

No. Different stamp types require different inks. Self-inking stamps typically use water-based ink, while pre-inked stamps require oil-based ink made specifically for pre-inked stamps.

Check the model number printed on your stamp before ordering. Replacement pads are made to fit specific stamp models, so matching the correct model number is important.

In some cases, yes. If you're changing to a different ink color, replacing the entire ink pad is usually the cleanest option for a self-inking stamp. Mixing colors in the same pad may create inconsistent results. Pre-Inked stamps ink color cannot be changed.

Start with a small amount and allow the ink time to absorb before testing your stamp. Adding too much at once can cause overly wet or blurry impressions.

Keep refill ink tightly closed and stored upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps prevent spills and keeps the ink ready for future use.
