The inkpad of the seal is dry. The following methods are recommended:
1. Before using the inkpad, it is recommended to dry it for about 10 minutes.
2. When there is no sun, you can use a hot air gun or a home hair dryer to heat around the inkpad. When the temperature rises, the inkpad will naturally soften and the use effect will be more ideal.

Historical output
Xiling Mo was invented by Ding Fuzhi, Wang He in the 29th year of Guangxu (AD 1903). It has a history of nearly a hundred years. During the Republic of China, Han Dengan, a Mohist from Xiling, made continuous improvement in the development of Mohism. In the past twenty years, under the inheritance and development of Xiling Printing Society and others, brands such as Zhuyindi and Zhusha Indy have been formed.
Now Cao Qin has developed a kind of imitation Qing Palace Inpad (modern technology anti-counterfeiting means, referred to as anti-counterfeiting Inpad), which has the characteristics of quaint color, delicate texture, calm shade, no oil leakage in summer, no solidification in winter and lasting and vivid seal. At the same time, it also produces multi-brand inkpad with different colors, which is well received by famous painters, seal engravers, collectors and connoisseurs and is regarded as the treasure of art forest.
There are three main raw materials for Xiling inkpad: 1, castor oil 2, mercuric sulfide 3 and mugwort (produced in Liancheng, Fujian).
1. Castor oil undergoes natural oxidation for 3-5 years.
2. Mercury sulfide (also called cinnabar) is cinnabar and cinnabar extracted by traditional Shui Piao method.
3. Folium Artemisiae Argyi grows in a maritime climate. Only when the sun is full and the ground is wet can we produce good mugwort leaves, which are extracted with water and dried. Xiling inkpad is mainly synthesized from the above three raw materials. After tens of thousands of artificial blending, it is the finished product.
There are four kinds of outer packaging of inkpad:
1. Specially gilded Wang Fuan Xiling Indy.
2. Wu Changshuo's autographed Xiling Printing Factory was specially designed.
3. Specially made mahogany inkpad, engraved with inkpad inscribed by Wu Changshuo.
Step 4: Simplicity
Inks generally burn ancient dragon seals, green dragons, flowers and birds, landscapes and so on. All the above four packages have instructions for the use of Xiling ink.
Clever removal of printing ink
1. If it is contaminated by inkpad, you can wash it with detergent first. For red pigment, it can be washed away in warm alcohol solution containing caustic potash. But for viscose fabrics, only alcohol can be used, and caustic potash is prohibited.
2. When wool or cloth is stained with ink, it should be washed with hot water or boiled water first, then with soapy water, then with clear water, and then cleaned. Never wash it with cold water, because it will make the color penetrate into the fiber and it is difficult to wash it again.
Matters needing attention
The so-called correct inversion means that we should pay attention to the following points when inverting:
1. Turning tool: smooth horn piece, smooth bamboo piece or smooth plastic strip.
2. Flip gesture: Flip up and down in one direction, not suitable for tangential rotation.
3. In winter, inkpad can be put on steam or directly heated with hot air, and then turned over.
The function of inversion: pigments, oils and fibers with different specific gravity are fully mixed and interwoven.
Dip in inkpad gesture
Dip the printing surface in inkpad, which should be light but not heavy. Squeezing and knocking are not allowed. Because the fibers are distributed in the inkpad color paste in an interwoven state after absorbing enough pulp, the three are integrated into one. If you squeeze and beat the inkpad, you will pull the fiber out of the interwoven state while sticking a lot of color paste, and the fiber is easy to break, damage, pilling or even smash. Therefore, squeezing and tapping gestures should not be used when dipping in inkpad.
We sometimes encounter an incomprehensible phenomenon, that is, the newly bought inkpad will be kneaded into a ball for the first time. After a period of use, its pilling phenomenon will gradually disappear, and then the effect will be excellent if it is used properly. This is because the surface of the inkpad will be in excessive contact with external substances or containers, and the fibers will be damaged, leading to fuzzing.
In the later stage, because the standard use has been maintained, the fibers with damaged surface are left after being impregnated, and the fibers interwoven in the inner layer are no longer damaged, and the use effect will enter the best state.
