FAQs

How often should I re-ink my ink pad?

The frequency depends on usage. Re-ink when the ink pad appears dry and produces faint stamped images.

Is this ink safe for children to use?

The ink is formulated to be non-toxic, making it suitable for crafting activities, but adult supervision is recommended during use.

Will this ink bleed on absorbent paper?

While designed to be permanent, on very absorbent paper, some slight spread might occur. Test on a scrap piece first.

Can I use this re-inker with other brands of ink pads?

It is specifically formulated for Ranger Archival Ink Pads. Using it with other brands may yield unpredictable results regarding color, permanence, and archival quality.

What is the best way to heat set the ink on glossy paper?

Use a heat tool on a medium setting, holding it a few inches away from the surface. Move the tool constantly to avoid scorching the paper until the ink is dry to the touch and set.

Is the ink fade-resistant?

Yes, the ink is archival quality, which means it is acid-free and designed to resist fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Ink pad is too wet after re-inking

Allow more time for the ink to absorb into the pad, or dab excess ink onto scrap paper. Apply less ink next time.

Ink is smudging on glossy paper

Ensure the ink has been properly heat set on the glossy surface according to product instructions. Use a heat tool at an appropriate temperature.

Ink color appears faded

Check if the ink pad is sufficiently re-inked. If the issue persists after re-inking, the ink pad itself may need replacement.

Re-inker bottle is difficult to open

Ensure the cap is not cross-threaded. Wipe any dried ink from the bottle neck and cap threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is an ink re-inker. Open the bottle and carefully apply the ink to a corresponding Ranger Archival Ink Pad. Avoid over-inking the pad; apply ink evenly until the pad is saturated but not flooded. Allow a few minutes for the ink to absorb before closing the ink pad.

Compatibility: Compatible with Ranger Archival Ink Pads and designed for use with various paper types, including matte and gloss finishes. It is suitable for use with stamping tools, markers (when used on an ink pad), and other general crafting applications.

Care: Store the re-inker bottle with the cap tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean up any spills immediately with a damp cloth. Ensure ink pads are not left uncovered for extended periods to prevent drying out.
