Rubber stamp ink fading read our expert advice here. Is your stamp ink on paper fading more and more each time you stamp? Is it getting hard to read or a poor representation of your business? Don’t throw away your stamp or stamp pad. Don’t buy a new one if it is a Shiny or Trodat brand of stamp. We can help you no problem. Here is how to make it like new and save money.

If your stamp is large or your stamp fades away quickly with a lot of use then we would suggest adding ink to the stamp ink pad. The cost of a bottle of ink is quite often less than a replacement ink pad. Rubber stamp ink fading? Simply replace the ink pad.
With this method you pop out the ink pad and then with the nozzle in the end of the ink botte drop few drops of ink here and there across the top of the pad. Wait a while, go make a cup a of tea, to let that soak in. You can push the nozzle of the ink bottle gently into the surface of the ink pad and see if a wet patch appears around the nozzle which indicates it might be good enough to use again. Less ink in the pad than too much is better for crisp stamping marks. Slide the ink pad back in and click into place and test the stamp on something unimportant.
