How to use

Pickleball preparation:

·        New pickleballs: Roughen with the integrated Scuff Pad before stamping to help the ink last longer.

·         Used Pickleballs: Dust off before stamping to keep the stamp and ink pad clean.

·         Only use on dry pickleballs.

Stamping: How to DinkStamp your Pickleballs

IMPORTANT: This ink is “permanent” so only stamp in an area where a dropped stamp or “wet” ball won’t cause a problem!

·         Remove the lid from the DinkPad

·         Press the DinkStamp into the pad 1-2 times to wet the stamp. Avoid inking the edges of the stamp

·         Position the stamp on the pre-roughened ball and press firmly

·         Replace the lid after use

Tips:

·         It may take a few times to get a good stamp (not too much or too little ink, not printing the edge of the stamp, etc.

·         Recommend using old/cracked balls to get the pressure and ink level correct. Wipe off a freshly stamped ball with isopropyl alcohol to start over.

·         It may help to place your pickleball in a coffee cup or similar object to help keep it steady while stamping.

·         If the stamp on your ball appears “shiny”, the surface may not have been roughened up enough prior to stamping.

Ink Dry Time:

·        A few minutes up to 30 minutes depending on a variety of conditions such as temperature, humidity, ball material and surface roughness.

·        Avoid tossing freshly stamped balls into your bag, use them until fully dry to prevent smearing. 

Stamp Cleanup:

·         To keep your stamp free of ink buildup, wipe clean with baby wipes, or stamp cleaner.

Product Storage:

·        Store the Stamp and Pad in a cool, dry place with no direct sunlight inside the provided zip-lock bag. This helps prevent the pad from drying out and avoids spills.
