How to
Use
To use an X-stamper gently press the handle against the paper.
Unlike conventional stamps, a hard strike or rocking motion is not necessary. A
light press to the stamping surface will ensure the highest quality impression.
Allow a few seconds between stamping for maximum ink flow.
The X-stamper’s dyestuff ink is ideal for paper because it spreads
into the paper and air-dries quickly. The X-stamper produces less desirable
results on surface-treated paper such as photo or parchment, because the coating
retards ink absorption. The standard Xstamper in the turquoise and beige mount
should not be used on metal, glass or plastic surfaces. We have special stamps
and ink for stamping on non-porous surfaces.
Normal usage constitutes daily business uses including stamping on
paper, cardboard or other like materials. Normal usage does not include
commercial or industrial stamping or any use where the original hand stamp has
been modified or used in conjunction with any type of stamping machine
Cleaning the Stamp Surface
Custom-made X-stamper stamps should be stored in a dust free
environment. The tacky side of any plastic tape can be used to remove dust or
paper fibers, which may accumulate on the stamp surface. Plain rubbing alcohol
on a dust free cloth can be used on the stamp surface to clean any dirt that may
build up. Never rub the stamp surface hard or allow sharp objects to come in
contact with the rubber.
Re-inking
Re-inking must be performed at such time when the stamp impression
has become consistently light. Most X-stampers can be refilled through the back
by removing the handle. They were designed this way to keep your hands clean and
ink free.
Refill only with the original color X-stamper Refill Ink. We have
many different models and there are different ways of re-inking. For a complete,
illustrated, re-inking instructions please see the package or package insert or
click here for re-inking instructions.
A selection of ink colors is available 10ml, 20ml, and 60ml
sizes..
Changing the Ink Color
You cannot change the ink color of an X-stamper. Different
colors of the ink have conflicting formulas that may not mix and result in a
blurry impression. That's because the pores in our stamps (the little tiny holes
that hold the ink) may become clogged when you introduce another ink formula.
Also, you may not get a true color, since you are essentially mixing two colors.
In other words, you can't go from black to red. You won’t get a true red
Use only X-stamper Refill Ink
All brands of ink are not the same. The formulas are different,
and another brand's formula may not mix with X-stamper. Also, some inks are not
truly ink, but are actually a softening agent as is the case with gel or jelly
stamps. These re-activators simply releases ink from within the product. This
type of ink will not work at all, and in fact may damage your X-stamper.

All ClassiX self-inking stamps feature precision components for a smooth, quiet action and many years of trouble free operation.
The ClassiX ink is ideal for paper because it spreads into the paper and air-dries quickly. ClassiX produce less desirable results on surface-treated paper such as photo or parchment, because the coating retards ink absorption. It is not recommended for glass, plastic, metal or fabric.
The Heavy Duty Metal Series feature a heavy-duty frame and precision components for a smooth, quiet action and many years of trouble free operation. Deep molded bands provide clean, sharp stamp impressions. Over-sized band adjustment wheels prevent your fingers from contacting the bands and make adjustment easy.

Re-Inking
Re-inking must be performed at such time when the stamp impression has become consistently light. Refill only with the original color ClassiX Refill Ink. Because we have many different models and there are different ways of re-inking. For a complete, illustrated, re-inking instructions please see the package or package insert or click here for re-inking instructions.
The inkpad for our hand stamp slides out like a drawer and the holder is removable. Likewise the pads for our Heavy Duty and Light Duty Dater line have removable ink pads. This allows the pad to be re-inked through the top re-inking from the face of the pad, or replaced completely.
A selection of ink colors is available in 6cc and 2oz bottles.
Changing the Ink Color
An advantage to self-inking stamps is you can change the color of the stamp by simply replacing the ink pad with a different color. We recommend you not mix colors of ink. Different formulations of ink for different colors may cause impressions to be blurry if ink colors are mixed.
Use only ClassiX Refill Ink
All brands of ink are not the same. The formulas are different, and another brand's formula may not mix with ClassiX.
