Brother pre-inked stamps do not use a stamp pad.

The Brother 4090 is the largest of the Brother pre-inked stamps, at 1.55 by 3.54 inches. Brother's stamps do not use an internal ink pad system. Instead, they employ an oil-based ink that dispenses small drops of ink onto the stamp. Because of this, it is important to only use inks made specifically for Brother products in your stamp. These inks are sold in black, blue, red and green.
