How to replace your stamp text plate

If you need a new stamp imprint, you can easily change the stamp text plate on all self-inking stamp models. Please make sure that you choose the replacement text plate that fits your existing stamp model, as we will also send you a new inkpad with the text plate in order to guarantee a perfect stamp imprint.

In order to change your stamp text plate, proceed as follows:

1. Remove ink pad (how to do that we show you here)
2. Print the stamp 5-10 times on paper (in order to remove ink)
3. Turn stamp upside down and press down completely (so that the text plate is visible)
4. Lock stamp mechanism (so you can remove the existing text plate). All stamps have a locking function (buttons, sliders).
5. Clean text plate with paper handkerchief (to avoid dirty fingers)
6. Remove extisting text plate (self-adhesive)
7. Apply new text plate precisely and straight (modern stamps offer a grid for alignment)
8. Insert replacement ink pad
9. Release lock mechanism by pushing down stamp
10. Apply some test stamp imprints on paper until all the stamp elements stamp neatly

In the product categories below, you will find the respective stamp replacement text plates by model group.

Please note the exact name of your current stamp model so that you can order the correct text plate and ink pad from us. For example, for the best-selling stamp model, the Trodat Printy 4913, you will need the Trodat 6/4913 pad.
