Dye Based Pads: Black, Blue, Red & Green Ink
The Mark II Dye Pad is designed to hold 1-oz. of ink per side.
To fill a dry pad, slowly apply ink in a circular pattern beginning at the center of the pad working your way to the outside of the casing until the entire surface is covered. Apply evenly to both sides of the pad for initial use.
If either side shows signs of drying out, flip pad over and begin using other side. While using one side, the other will renew itself. Keep cover closed when not in use.
When necessary, apply 2-3 drops of Mark II Cleaner and Thinner to the surface and allow solution to flush through the pad. Over time, additional ink will need to be applied to refresh surface.
Pigment Based Pad: White
The Mark II Pigment Pad is designed to hold 1/2-oz. of ink per side.
To fill a dry pad, slowly apply ink in a circular pattern beginning at the center of the pad working your way to the outside of the casing until the entire surface is covered. Apply evenly to both sides of the pad for initial use.
Do not over ink. Too much ink will cause the pad to overflow and will result in your stamp picking up too much ink. If pad floods, use a rag to dab off.
If either side shows signs of drying out, flip pad over and begin using other side. While using one side, the other will renew itself. Keep cover closed when not in use.
