Discovering the Magic of Gold Stamp Ink: A Comprehensive Guide

1. Understanding the Basics of Gold Stamp Ink

Hello there! It's Kevin, back with some exciting new information to share. Today, we delve into the fascinating world of gold stamp ink, a multi-surface wonder designed for optimal performance on non-porous surfaces. The beauty of self-inking stamps is that they save you the trouble of inking the stamp yourself. A self-inking stamp already has ink within, differentiating it from pre-inked stamps which typically use oil-based ink. However, gold ink is not oil-based, so it cannot be used with pre-inked stamps.

2. Acquiring Your Gold Stamp Ink

Should you find yourself in need of stamp ink, BCH Technologies, an industry leader in printing and ink solutions, has got you covered. Visit their website and navigate to the "Stamp Ink & More" section, and then to "All Surface Ink". Here, you'll find the rose gold and yellow gold variants. You might also consider buying a bottle of thinner or a re-moisturizer, which can rehydrate your ink when it dries due to its solvent-based nature.

3. Selecting the Right Ink Pad

While on BCH Technologies’ website, you may also want to grab an ink pad. Scroll down and you'll find the solvent tolerant ink pad. Now, remember, solvent tolerant doesn't mean it can tolerate the solvent ink indefinitely. This particular ink pad has a rubber liner to prevent solvent fumes from escaping when closed, which is a great feature for short-term storage. After use, just let it air dry somewhere safe.

4. Caring for Your Ink Pad

It's crucial to note that if you seal the solvent ink pad for an extended period, the casing may start to deform. To remedy a dried out casing, just add some thinner and give it a good stir with a spatula. If you neglect this step, you could end up wasting a lot of your valuable solvent-based ink.

5. Optimizing Your Ink Pad

One of the benefits of using thinner or moisturizer is that it shares the same components as the original ink, thereby retaining the ink's original stickiness or viscosity. Another method to re-moisturize your ink pad is by using alcohol. However, note that alcohol can thin the ink and with repeated use, the original ink might deplete and you'll need to add more.

6. Stamping Made Easy

With your prepared ink pad, almost any kind of rubber stamp will work. There's even a handy video below that demonstrates how to create your own rubber stamp. You can also get a custom-made rubber stamp from various online sources. Once you have your stamp ready, you can stamp on almost anything. While it works on porous surfaces like paper, non-porous surfaces like metal, glass, ceramics, vinyl, and cellphone covers give the best results.

The inception of this stamp ink was driven by customer inquiries on how to stamp on materials such as wax papers. This stamp ink is available in two intriguing colors: yellow gold and rose gold. Remember, this stamp ink should not be used on skin.
