Spare Pads/What has to be considered when buying a new text die?
When buying a new text die, you should also ask for a new spare pad, because the present text die “left its traces” on the spare pad. This means that the pad surface is a bit uneven, and therefore you would achieve only a partial imprint with your new text die. The best however would be to use a new stamping device for the new text die, and this way you can ask for the latest model.
