How To Fill Pre Inked Stamps

By Andrea Davidson


Pre inked stamps are a fast and convenient way to mark various documents without having to stop and fill up the stamp each time it is being used. These handy little tools can be used again and again before needing to replace the liquid in the product.

Depending on the type of product you have purchased, you may have an instruction manual that you can follow to get the job completed. You can also look to the company website to get some tips on how to refill your stamper. However, generally speaking, the pre filled stampers are all pretty much the same in how the function and are really easy to refill when necessary.

Before you begin refilling your stamper you will want to get a roll of paper towels and some rubber gloves. Because refilling a stamper can sometimes get a bit messy, it is a good idea not only to cover your hands while you are working but, your work surface as well. There are no unique, costly rubber gloves needed to get this job done. You can purchase them pretty much anywhere at varying costs.

When you are ready, carefully expose the back of the stamper where the ink is held. There are different ways to do this but, most of the time, this can be accomplished by either pushing or pulling the cartridge tray.

After the cartridge has been completely exposed, you will notice that there are a couple of spaces where the liquid will be placed. It will only take small drops of the ink solution to completely fill the cartridge up. Often six or fewer drops are needed to reach capacity.

While you might be tempted to try to add more liquid to the cartridge to lessen the number of refills you need, the fact is overfilling it will just lead to smudging on your documents when you use it. Once it is full, allow the stamper time to rest before you begin to use it.

After you have filled your stamper and allowed it to settle for a little while, it is always a good idea to try it on something before using it on important documents. Occasionally, regardless of how careful you are sometimes smudging can happen so you should always test your stamper before use.

How often pre inked stamps require refilling will depend on the size of the product and the frequency of use. Over time, some stampers will also simply dry up and require refilling. To ensure that you get the same quality imprint each time you use the stamper, make sure that you use the same brand of ink when you are ready to refill the capsule. You can opt to use different colors but, will probably find that you get the sharpest quality by sticking to the original color that was in the cartridge.
