A multi-color ink pad assembly with end user configurable pad/plate assemblies. The pad/plate assemblies comprise an absorbent pad impregnated with ink attached to a rigid mounting plate. Attachment means are provided which engage the mounting plate to attach the pad/plate assemblies onto a base such that the user may manually remove and reattach the pad/plate assemblies to the base in any number of configurations. Two detent members are formed on the mounting plates and a hole is formed in the base. The detent members pass through the hole and engage the base to help avoid inadvertent removal of pad/plate assemblies from the base. The end user thus has tremendous flexibility in constructing multi-color inking surfaces.
