Default do you store spots upside down???

I use the Stampin Spots and love them but they are drying out. Should I store them upside down or will they leak?

Thanks for you help.

I have always stored mine upside down without any leaks, even after reinking! :-D

I bought my spots (all 4 sets) during SAB 2004. I've always stored them right side up in the white boxes they came in. I just reinked them all for the first time last winter.

Dye ink should be stored upside down, pigment ink does not need it so it depends on the type of ink you have.

My craft spots and dye spots are all stored upright...no problems or issues thus far.
Blessings.

I store all of my pads upside down. No problems with any of them.

I store mine upside down. I've had them for years and have never had to re ink them

I did have some leak however. I figured out that it was because a few strands had frayed and were sticking out.

I have stored all my ink spots upside down for years (in the white boxes they came in). The only leak I ever had was old black spot (they do not even make it anymore). All the rest are in great shape and I have not had to reink any yet!

I did have them upside down but about 4 of the spots leaked all over. I turned them back right side up.
