COLOP E/40 blue replacement ink pad is designed for use with COLOP E/40 self-inking stamps.

The product offers a straightforward replacement solution that simplifies maintenance of compatible self-inking stamps and reduces downtime between impressions.

Advantages

Its formulation provides rapid ink transfer for legible prints and dries quickly on paper to minimise smudging. The pad is sized and shaped for direct compatibility with COLOP E/40 stamp housings, ensuring a reliable fit and steady contact pressure for uniform impressions across repeated use.

How to use

Remove the old ink pad from the COLOP E/40 stamp according to the stamp manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the replacement pad into the designated slot until it locks into position, then test the first impression on scrap paper to confirm correct alignment and ink coverage. If necessary, press the stamp several times to fully saturate the die with ink before regular use. Dispose of the removed pad in line with local waste guidance.

Usage recommendations

Store replacement pads in a cool, dry place and keep them sealed in original packaging until use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; if ink contacts skin, wash with soap and water. For best results, use the pad with stamps that match the specified COLOP E/40 size and replace the pad when impressions become faint or uneven.
