What is the difference between the Kes'pon ID Guard Stamps and regular stamps? The Kes'pon ID Guard Stamp is designed to effectively cover printed information by applying over it a unique stamp pattern with an Kes'pon's special oil-based ink.     4. Can the ink be washed off skin or clothing? Because it is a special oil-based ink, it does not wash off easily. If you happen to get the ink on your clothes, please consult a professional cleaner for help. Please make sure to tell the cleaner that the ink is oil-based.     5. How can ink stains be removed from the surface of the product itself? Remove the stain with dry cloth or use neutral detergent.     6. How can the stamp surface be cleaned? If the stamp surface becomes dirty with dust or small bit of paper, remove the debris by using scotch tape.     7. How many times can the stamp be used before the ink pad must be replaced? Approximately 1,000 times (more or less, depending upon how it has been used). The ink pad can be replaced with a new pad (available separately).     8. What should be done when the ink becomes thin? Please replace the ink pad with a new one (available separately).     9. How many times can the stamp be used repeatedly in quick succession? Assuming there is sufficient ink, when used continually in one second of intervals, the stamp is good for approximately 300 impressions.
