Confirm it needs ink
First make several test impressions on clean paper. If the first is light but later marks improve, the pad may simply need a short rest rather than more ink.
Refill only when repeated test impressions remain pale. Use compatible red ink intended for self-inking stamp pads, add it sparingly, and allow time for the pad to absorb it.

Choose red refill ink labeled for self-inking stamp pads. Solvents or unrelated art inks may damage the pad, rubber, or plastic body.
Expose the internal pad according to the stamp mechanism, add only a few drops, and allow them to absorb. Test before adding more to avoid saturated, blurry impressions.
It is safer to use ink specifically made for self-inking stamp pads.
Excess ink can cause bleeding, smears, and leakage. Blot carefully and make repeated test impressions on scrap paper.
Mixing colors can produce unpredictable results. This product is designed around a red impression.
