* Please do not use stamp pad ink or any type of marking ink, which may cause the numbering machine wheels to get corroded.
It's highly recommended that you use LION's specialized numbering machine ink (found here) in order to ensure long lasting quality impressions and stable functioning of the machine.
LION ink is developed especially for numbering machines so they are compatible with metal wheel machines.
LION ink will not only keep the ink pad moist, but will keep the mechanisms lubricated.

6. For Better Imprint When Numbering / Stamping

How to get the most out of your numbering machine

FOR BETTER IMPRINT WHEN NUMBERING / STAMPING

For a better imprint, put a desk mat underneath (try our Post Consumer Recycled Cutting Mat / Desk Mat), and change the ink pad when the pad doesn't ink the wheels evenly or when it starts to fray.
