If I ran out of ink, can I roll the stamp over a regular black ink pad and use it? Will it work?

I am sure the answer is yes, however I wonder if there is something unique about the ink in this as I can block my address on slick magazines...most ink doesn't do that job.

That depends. If you run out of any color you can't print in black. You have to use Brother ink cartridges or it won't work. I'm very sorry I bought this.

Dear Neil,I have bought the ink tanks and found the product is wonderful. Don't worry about the ink door open, the Shopkeeper, Mr. C.J. Chen, will provide a rubber stopper to you. While, what you have to is just put it in the hole of the door where is the location of printer's sensor. By this way, the printer can realize the door is closed. So, it will work properly. I do not modify the printer. All I do is just replace the ink cartridges and lease the door open with the rubber stopper.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! The ink system is designed to be gravity fed at an EXACT Pressure. If it is too high the ink will flow into your printer and could overflow. If it is too low it may not feed properly. NOTE: If you bought the extra paper tray like I did, you will have to put something under the Ink system so that it is at the same level of the printer itself (Like if it only had one paper tray.) I made a cardboard box the exact height as the extra paper tray and keep my ink system on top of that.

Should work fine. Google your cartridge numbers to see which hole to put the right color in. And, remember to tape over the holes after you put in the ink to keep them from drying out too quickly. I really love this product. Saves me a small fortune!

I'm not sure . That never happen to me . Ran out of black ink and was able to still print in color. But not sure if it works the other way around.

I think I did use this product in the past to refill black ink cartridges and it did work well. I no longer have the printers or this particular refill set. Cartridges will usually take several refills before they have to be replaced. Good luck.

if it is the thin clear covering over the area the ink goes through to the printer you can leave it alone. The printer will get the ink. My first replacement was black ink and it was the same way. It will still work. I printed something first and then it recognized it. If it does not print using that cartridge...call or write the place that you bought your ink. I hope this helps and Happy Printing :D

My experience is when it runs out completely of any ink color it stops working but not before if black has not yet run out the printer will, sometimes, ask you if you want to print in just black. If it says low, be sure to have more ready of the same color. Otherwise this is an excellent small printer.

This stamp can be re-inked easily. Make sure you use a water based ink such as Trodat self-inking stamp ink. DO NOT use pre-inked stamp ink, such as Xstamper ink. It will ruin your stamp quickly. You can also replace the small ink pad in the stamp. If you have an old stamp, replacing the pad will make it print clearer.

My answer would be yes. I have a self-inking stamp that fits easily in the smallest squares.

Yes, it will work but with the way it is setup unless you pick one of the specific colors to print, like cyan or yellow, it says it is out of ink. This comes from personal experience. As a note, we use color refills from Costco and have had no issues with the ink. Works great and saves tons of $$$.

You could also look for a local ink refiller. There's a store where I live that refills ink cartridges. It's very cheap and they put over 20% more ink in the cartridge than the manufacturers. (They don't fill them up.)

Well you can try, but depending on your printer it may not work. I have tried and it worked but not with consistency. Let me explain. The film is not 100% pliable. You can bend it but at a point it will "snap", so your printer may curve too much for this to last. Also the film specifically for inkjet holds the ink better. Some inks will run right off this. If you want to guarantee you don't ruin your printer or waste a piece, you will need to get the inkjet kind, which of course are more expensive. The ink doesn't dry fast enough so if you print a saturated image it may be a wet mess, and then when you shrink it turns into a blob.

If you look in the reviews, you can see that we are very disappointed with this paper, with some sets working, and others will not transfer. If you write with a pen, you must press very HARD. I doubt a stamp would work. I would check each set in a corner before starting out. Probably best used with a typewriter.

The ink will not dry up. It is manufactured so that it will not evaporate. A small amount of ink is used up each time you stamp an impression. When the ink gets low or is empty you can re-ink the little pad inside or you can purchase a new pad full of ink.
