Ink pad COLOP E/30 Colorless (model 650-00172) for self-inking devices

COLOP E/30 Colorless ink pad is a replacement pad designed for compatible self-inking stamp devices. The colorless pad produces neutral, non-visible impressions and serves as a maintenance accessory to protect the stamp mechanism during storage, transport or periods of non-use. Lightweight and easy to handle, the pad maintains the correct pressure and alignment of the stamping unit without adding ink color to documents.

Advantages

The colorless design prevents unintended marking while preserving the internal ink distribution and sealing of the self-inking stamp. Installation is straightforward and requires no tools, reducing downtime for stamp users. The pad is compatible with devices that accept E/30 format pads and is manufactured to match original dimensions and absorbency characteristics, helping maintain consistent stamp operation and prolonging the service life of the rubber die.

Suitable for

• Temporary deactivation of inked stamps during storage or transport
• Maintenance and testing of self-inking devices without marking documents
• Situations requiring protection of stamp mechanisms from accidental stamping
• Offices, print shops and service centers that service multiple stamp units

Key specifications

How to use

Remove the existing ink pad from the self-inking device following the manufacturer’s removal procedure. Insert the COLOP E/30 Colorless pad into the pad holder, ensuring correct alignment and secure seating. Cycle the stamp a few times on scrap material or into the device’s receptacle to confirm smooth movement; the pad will maintain internal ink distribution without producing visible markings. For storage or transport, leave the colorless pad installed to protect the stamp components.

Usage recommendations

Store replacement pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Replace the pad if you observe uneven contact, mechanical resistance, or if the stamp die shows signs of wear. For regular use, switch back to an appropriate colored ink pad when visible impressions are required. Match the pad format to the device model to ensure proper fit and operation.
