It is called Aero Brand #1250 Ink Reactivator, manufactured by Specialty Ink Co., Deer Park, NY. You can find this product at a large rubber stamp company that wholesales to other dealers, or find it online. You wet a cloth with this solution and wipe the key. The black will just disappear...<br> I have not tried it but if it works, it would be much easier than the methods recently put forward on the list.<br> Jim McCormac<br> RPT, San Diego<br> </div> </div> </span> </body> </html>
