Spare Pads/Why better exchange the spare pad instead of reinking it?
Do not reink the spare pad of your COLOP self-inker. In case of use of unsuitable ink, the spare pad and/or the text die can be destroyed. Customary ink is only intended for traditional stamp pads (for hand stamps). Original COLOP spare pads for self-inking stamps are electronically inked and therefore guarantee that the ink is evenly spread in the spare pad. Reinking the spare pad leads to a high quantity of ink on the surface layer of the pad (bad imprint), because the ink can not sufficiently seep into the pad material. This way you automatically lose also the guarantee for your imprint.
