How to reink a Rubber Stamp?

Self-inking stamps like Trodat, Colop, Shiny and Neo can be reinked by removing the ink cartridge from the stamp and applying ink evenly onto the ink pad.

We stock refill ink for Self-Inking Stamps in a wide range of colours.

Pre-Inked Stamps like our EcoMax / DF range can easily be reinked. To reink remove the Orange (or Purple) handle by holding on to the base and pulling the handle out. Reink with the required amount ink, for small stamps 6 to 10 drops and for large stamps 15 to 25 drops, leave it overnight for the ink to spread through the pad and rubber, if required repeat the process. DO NOT over ink as it will result in ink leaking, it is better to under ink and repeat the process after 24 hours than ending up with a messy leaking stamp! Reink only with our Pre-Inked ST 850 series ink, using wrong type of ink will result in damaging the stamp.
