The inkpad that accompanies your stamp is guaranteed to make thousands of clear impressions before the first replacement. You may order an extra inkpad at the time of your first order (to save shipping) or wait until you need one.
To replace an old inkpad just follow these four simple steps:
For large 1.2" or 1.5" stamps
Push the stamp down to about one quarter of an inch.
While holding it down, use the other hand to press the locking mechanism (the red bottoms on the sides) so the stamp will remain stationary.
Gently push the old inkpad out.
Then put the new inkpad in place.
For smaller .5" or .8" stamps with no locking mechanism
Push the stamp down for about one eighth of an inch and hold it.
Gently push the old inkpad out.
Keep the stamp held at the one eighth of an inch position.
Gently slide the new inkpad in place, then release the stamp.
