FAQs
How do I know when to replace my ink pad?
You should consider replacing your ink pad when your stamp impressions start to become noticeably lighter, faded, uneven, or start to skip. This indicates the ink supply in the pad has diminished or the pad surface has worn down.
How many impressions can I expect from one replacement pad?
These Colop replacement pads are designed to provide thousands of impressions. The exact number can vary depending on the frequency of use and the area covered by each impression.
Can I use these pads with a different brand of stamp?
These E/4913 pads are specifically designed for Trodat 4913 and 4953 stamp models. Using them with other brands or models may not provide a proper fit or optimal performance.
Is the ink waterproof?
The product description specifies 'highly concentrated ink' but does not explicitly state if it is waterproof. For documents requiring permanent or waterproof ink, it's advisable to test a sample impression.
How should I store unused replacement pads?
Store unused replacement pads in their original packaging in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain their ink quality.
What is the color of the ink in this pack?
This specific product pack contains black ink replacement pads.
Troubleshooting
Stamp impression is faint or uneven after replacing the pad.
Ensure the new pad is correctly and fully seated in the stamp holder. Check that the original stamp mechanism is functioning properly and not damaged. If the pad is new, it may require a few more impressions to fully distribute the ink.
Ink is smudging on the paper.
This could indicate too much ink on the pad (though unlikely with electronically inked pads) or that the ink has not had sufficient time to dry. Allow a few seconds for the ink to dry on the paper. Ensure the stamp is not being applied with excessive pressure.
The replacement pad does not fit the stamp.
Verify that you have the correct replacement pad model (Colop E/4913) and that it is intended for your specific stamp model (Trodat 4913 or 4953). If you have the correct model, check for any obstructions in the stamp holder.
