Why the clear base matters
The transparent base lets you see exactly where the stamp will land, so you can position it precisely on the paper. This reduces misprints and the smudges that happen when you shift the stamp after pressing down.
Frequently asked questions
Can I re-ink the stamp with any brand of ink?
The manufacturer recommends using ExcelMark re-inking bottles designed for self-inking stamps, though many water-based stamp pads will work. Always test on a scrap first to avoid damage to the pad or blurred impressions.
How large is the actual stamped text?
The entire impression area is 5/8 inch (about 1.6 cm) in diameter. The word "Late!" appears prominently in the center in red.
Is the stamp refillable?
Yes. When the ink runs out, you can add a few drops of red stamp ink to the pad. The double-sided pad gives you extra capacity before needing to re-ink.
Will the stamp work on glossy paper?
Water-based ink may take longer to dry on coated or glossy surfaces. The clear base helps you avoid smearing by allowing a steady press-and-lift motion.
