FAQs

Does this stamp come with the letters included?

Yes, the Colop Printer S260 includes a set of characters, numbers, and symbols to facilitate full DIY customization.

Can I change the ink color?

The S260 is designed for its specific dual-color (blue text, red date) function, so it is recommended to use the official replacement pads designed for this model.

How long will the ink pad last?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, but the pads are designed for thousands of crisp impressions before requiring a change.

Is the stamp suitable for glossy paper?

The included ink is standard water-based office ink, which may smear on high-gloss or coated paper. It works best on standard bond, copier, or bond paper.

How do I lock the stamp for storage?

Most models feature a side locking mechanism that allows you to depress the stamp slightly and engage the switch to hold it in a lowered position.

What is the warranty period?

The unit is built for 10 years of standard use; please refer to your specific retailer or the Colop warranty card provided in the packaging.

Troubleshooting

Stamp impression is faint or uneven

Check if the ink pad is dry and needs replacement, or ensure the stamp is being pressed down firmly and evenly on a flat surface.

Letters are misaligned or upside down

Use the tweezers to remove the character and carefully re-insert it into the correct slot, ensuring it is pressed fully into the rubber grooves.

Date wheels are difficult to turn

Gently rotate the wheels while the stamp is in the locked 'down' position to release tension, or clear any debris caught between the gears.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clear visual distinction between text and dates via dual-color ink
  • Highly durable frame suitable for high-frequency use
  • Versatile customization options for document tracking
  • Long-lasting design with a decade of service life
  • No external stamp pad required

Cons

  • Initial setup of DIY characters can be time-consuming
  • Small characters require tweezers to position accurately
  • Limited to one line of text above and below the date

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your stamp, use the included tweezers to carefully press the individual rubber characters into the slotted base plate. Ensure the characters are mirrored correctly so they print the right way around. For maintenance, keep the stamp in a dust-free environment when not in use. If the impression begins to lighten, the integrated ink pad can be replaced or replenished. Avoid forcing the date wheels; if they become stiff, a light cleaning with a dry, soft brush can remove dust buildup from the mechanism.
