Stampin up reinkers - do current ones work on old pads?

[dcworth]

Hi there,

I have some older SU! Ink pads that have the fabric on top. Can I use the current refills (for the foam pads) on my old pads?


There aren’t many colors that have the same name, but Old Olive is an example, or the color might be “close enough”.


Thanks!

You can use the new reinkers on all colors of linen pads.  Some of the colors have been retired, of course, and reinkers are no longer available. 

Old Olive is still a current color, so you can definitely get that one. 

Some colors in your linen pads may have reinkers that are close enough, or you may be able to get a reinker in the Buy, sell, trade forum.

Thank you!

I thought I had heard there were several colors that had a different formula.

there were several that had different formula, with the new foam pad but it was the old shouldn't be used on the new.   all those colors are retired now anyway.

Post #8 in this thread lists the old style reinkers which don't work with the new foam pads, and as Leibetty said, all are retired now

I've done a lot of research on this, and here's what I know... Most ink refills can still be used with foam ink pads, but there are a few colors to be wary of: 

Basic Black

Perfect Plum

Tempting Turquoise

If you have a foam pad in one of these colors, it is advised to use refills manufactured after 2012. Linen pads are nice in that even though they are older, they can take any of the ink formulas and I have never experienced any issues. Hope this helps!

When SU! switched from the linen pads to the firm foam pads, these color formulas were no longer compatible and the old re-inkers could not be used on the new foam pads:

Tempting Turquoise
Marina Mist
Perfect Plum
Basic Gray
Basic Black

All of these colors have since retired with the exception of Basic Black.

Basic Black is retired as well - SU carries Memento Tuxedo Black for our black
