Package Includes:

• 1 x Premium All-Surface Stamp Ink 20 ml (0.68 oz) Solvent-Based
• 1 x Premium Stamp Pad for Solvent Based Ink

Premium All-Surface Stamp Ink

• Solvent-based, designed to dry quickly, streaks-free, waterproof, and without toxic residue after drying.
  
• Works on both porous and non-porous surfaces, such as glass, plastic, metal, vinyl, acrylic, leather, or CDs.
  
• Great for factory stamping, expiration date marking, logos, lot numbers, serial numbers, graphic pattern stamping, and much more.
  
• Any regular rubber stamp can be used, but the stamp pad must be tight-sealed with a rubber lining and has to be suitable for solvent inks.
  
• The ink will dry on most non-porous surfaces within 10 seconds, but some surfaces may need up to 2 minutes, depending on the ink amount and surface composition.

Stamp Pad

• To be used with fast-dry inks, especially solvent-based stamp ink.

• Rubber-lined for a tight seal, preventing stamp ink from drying.

• Durable construction for most tough industrial applications.

• An external swing lock to guarantee the case can be tightly locked.

Plastic Melting: A recent customer encountered an unexpected problem with their stamp pad: the plastic appeared to be melting, presumably due to the solvent-based ink they used. While the ink effectively marked the desired surfaces, it, unfortunately, led to soft spots on both the pad's plastic casing and the surrounding area.

This issue stems from the interaction between the solvent-based ink and the plastic material of the stamp pad. Notably, prolonged contact with excessive solvent ink, mainly when the lid is closed, can result in melting. However, it's essential to note that this doesn't imply incompatibility between the pad and ink; instead, it calls for a specific approach to usage.

Here's how to address the problem:

1. Adequate Ventilation and Evaporation: After each use, especially if the pad has been exposed to solvent-based ink for an extended duration, it's vital to ensure proper ventilation. Leaving the lid open allows the solvent to evaporate, minimizing the risk of melting.
2. Utilize Alcohol Spray: To rejuvenate the pad, consider employing alcohol spray. A gentle application of alcohol, such as the CVS Health Alcohol First Aid Antiseptic Spray(https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-alcohol-first-aid-antiseptic-spray-prodid-958283), can be lightly sprayed onto the pad to dampen it and dissolve any residual ink. This helps preserve the pad's integrity and prevents further damage.
3. Optional Addition of Solvent: For consistent printing and to enhance the durability of your stamp pad, you may contemplate incorporating a solvent into the alcohol spray. Products like the BCH All-Surface Stamp Ink Rejuvenator for Solvent Fast-Dry Stamp Ink (http://tinyurl.com/5ant7k4m) provide a convenient solution for thinning and re-moistening your stamp ink. While this step is discretionary, it can contribute to maintaining the print quality over time.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can effectively utilize your BCH stamp ink products while safeguarding your stamp pad from damage. Remember, prioritizing proper ventilation, periodic cleaning with alcohol spray, and optionally incorporating solvent can significantly prolong the longevity of your stamping equipment and ensure consistently excellent results.
