In modern offices, automatic stamps are used instead of old stamps. Their second name is trodats, by the name of the company that manufactures the equipment. With constant use, the ink dries and the stamp on the paper is practically invisible. Therefore, it is important to know how to refill the print.
For this, it is not necessary to contact a specialized company, because you can do everything yourself. The instruction is in the boxes in which the product is located. By familiarizing yourself with simple rules, you can easily do everything on your own.
How to remove the stamp pad?
Standard automatic printing in the middle has a stamp pad. It will be noticeable when viewed from the side. To determine how to refill the print, remove the pad. To do this, click on the 2 buttons located on the sides of the trodat. In this case, it must be pressed down a little.
If everything is done correctly, and the snap-in is not damaged, the button will fix the slightly pressed state. Then, using a regular pencil, you need to remove the pillow from the gap on the side. Self-typing printing and other types of stamps are also refueled.
Training
Before you know how to refill the print, you need to clean the pad and remove dirt from it. If there are dents, they should be smoothed out using a sharp object. For this, you can use a regular paper clip. Impressions are aligned with its tip.
A spoiled pad does not have elasticity; moreover, it does not absorb ink. Strong dents are visible on it, which cannot be smoothed out. It is impossible to restore it, besides it is unsuitable for work. Do not use such a product, you should buy a new one. In this case, there will be no need to know how to refill the ink.
Ink application
How to refill the seal if the pad is prepared? Paint is produced by various companies, including Russia. Mascara or other liquids should not be used for this, since then the product will be quickly damaged.
In a standard bottle of paint there is a dispenser that allows you to drip to apply paint. It is enough to apply a few drops evenly. All excess should be removed with a napkin. After this, you should pick up a little before absorbing the liquid.
Then the pad should be inserted into the equipment with the ink side down. How to refill ink correctly if 2-3 colors are used? You need to pull out the pads, filling them with suitable ink. The procedure is the same as with the rest of the products. This is how self-type printing is refueled.
Flash print
Flash printing is now in demand. Compared to conventional stamps, their surface is smooth. The product uses several colors, the print is accurately and evenly applied. Such stamps are considered durable and protected, so they are chosen for many organizations.
One-color Flash Printing
Although the product is durable, after some time it still needs to be refilled with ink. To quickly accomplish this, you will need a syringe and ink for printing. The cliche is on a cushioning pad. It is necessary to remove the cliche and put it on a smooth surface. Paint is applied by syringe. Each layer should not be more than 2 mm. The ink should be absorbed, after which it is necessary to wipe the ink residue and collect the seal.
Refill multicolor flash printing
To refuel such a product, you need to get the cliche as described above. The part is filled with syringes, during which it is necessary to control so that there is no mixing of colors. Paints of different colors have differences in the degree of fluidity.
Paint must be applied to one segment, and then to the second. With the filling of each color, different syringes must be used so that the colors do not turn out blurry. The paint must be distributed, and this takes time. Then the cliche must be inserted in its place, and you can print.
Ink paint
Now you can meet 3 types of paints: water, oil, alcohol. Their differences are in manufacturing technology. Water-based inks are used for printing on paper and materials that absorb water very well. They are used for office seals and stamps. The paint is suitable for manual and automatic products, facsimiles, numbering machines. It serves to refuel various stamp pads - desktop, removable, automatic.
The advantages of water paints include:
- fast absorbency;
- durability;
- safety stamps;
- can be used with stamps from different materials.
Because of these advantages, many companies choose products to conduct their work. There are colors such as purple, blue, black, red, green. Each of them is clearly visible on paper, which is why these paints are chosen in many offices.
Alcohol paints are used on non-absorbent surfaces. They will be indispensable for glossy paper, plastic, polyethylene. With affixing the impression, the alcohol evaporates, and a stable impression is obtained. Alcohol is an aggressive component, so it has a destructive effect on different materials. Such paint is not suitable for:
- automatic printing, since alcohol causes contamination of the product, destruction of the pillow;
- seals with polymer cliches that are adversely affected by alcohol.
The range of alcohol paints is richer, as there are purple, blue, black, orange, pink. High-quality stamps are obtained.
Oil paints are the most persistent. They are used for labeling and numbering of products. Oil is necessary for deep penetration of the ink, so removing the print will be difficult. They are used for different papers. They can be used for refueling franking machines, numbering machines and other equipment with a metal cliche.
