When the ink pad is depleted, can it be re-inked or the pad replaced?

I think it can be done either way. The ink section is separate and has to be installed/slid into the stamper, so presumably it can be removed and re-inked, or replaced.

Just re-ink. Different pads are available at Staples and Office Depot in other colors. Most standard ink pads will fit.

This is written on the box: "...up to 50,000 times without re-inking......advanced re-inking system ensures a mess free experience....lifetime guarantee." On one side of the device itself, it says "Push to Re-Ink" so I think the answer to your question is yes. I haven't had to refill it yet!

The unit will let you know when the ink levels are low. A message will appear on-screen showing the ink levels and letting you know that you will need to replace which one of them soon.

The ink can be refilled. It uses the refills like the 'cross' pens. I'm not sure if the rubber tip is replaceable. I tried to take it off but it seems glued to it. But the rubber tip hasn't worn down since I've purchased it. Hope this helps.

No it won't. I disagree with the previous two answers. It automatically stops when the ink runs out on any cartridge. Your computer screen warns you first and then when the printer stops your screen shows which cartridge has run out of ink. I keep two sets of refillable cartridges so I have no down time when the ink runs out. I just replace the dry one and refill it while the printer continues doing its job.

It usually gives fair warning, but when it gets to the page capacity for the drum unit, it will tell you that it must be replace and you won't be able to print. You can always reset the drum counter if your printer has the option if you want to keep using the same drum.

You ink the pad on rare occasion and then it's inks itself for several months of use. Easy to use.

The chip is part of the cartridges. The printer uses them to tell you how much ink is in them. Once the chip says the cartridge is empty it won't work anymore. Even if there's still ink in it.

You can Google this and you'll find an app you can use once to do a reset. There's an underlying issue. Every time you clean the print heads, ink is dumped into some pads under the printer. Once those pads are saturated, the printer is finished. Here's a link to an outfit on Ebay. I'm not recommending them, but they talk about why/how to do the reset. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EPSON-ARTISAN-800-Waste-Ink-Pad-Service-Reset-/331165278711?pt=UK_Computing_Printer_Scanner_Parts_Accessories&hash;=item4d1afd21f7

No, as the printer always reports that the cartridge is out of ink due to the embedded chip in the cartridge.

I have successfully used re-manufactured (refilled) cartridges. Although there is a trick to using them. After you install one, the machine will tell you the cartridge is "low ink". After a few pages it says it's out of ink and the warning light comes on. (Do NOT Cancel your Print Job!) Press and hold the Red "Stop" button for about 5 seconds and the warning light will turn off. The display will then show "unknown ink volume" or something similar. You are now good to print until the cartridge actually runs out of ink.

Cartridges come with ink in them and simply snap in the pen. Once it is empty, you could either refill by usage of a syringe or snap another cartridge in.Converters replace cartridges and in the long run, save you money as they are reusable...not disposable. To refill, draw the piston of the converter down by twisting counterclockwise on the converter. Then, dip the entire nib into your ink and slowly fill up the converter by twisting clockwise. Once filled, draw out a drop of ink to remove any possible air bubbles that might cause skipping during writing.

Yes. Loaded with black ink and ready to go out of the box. I think it also came with an empty ink pad in case you want to use another ink color. I have been using mine for about 2 years and have yet to had to re-ink it.

I would think so. The ink pad is separate from the actual stamp so I would assume you could just buy a different colored ink pad.

The ink cartridges that come with the printer do not seem to be fully filled and do not last long. You will want to buy new cartridges soon.I was able to use re-manufactured cartridges. You just have to press and hold the red Stop button for about 5 seconds after the alert light comes up showing that a newly installed cartridge is out of ink. Do not cancel the print job. When the light goes out, continue printing as you normally would. The LCD panel will show it can not determine the ink level of the cartridge, but it will print just fine.

Yes, you can change the ink before it runs out. You will have to clean the nib first (this pen comes with a water cleaning kit). It's really simple.
