Not all that sure about how much work it is to modify.  Like I said, 
that "Something" blocking the path could be "nothing" much too.  It 
could just be more of that ink pad stuff to soak up the ink to keep

The back area of the plastic could easily be cut through so that 
isn't a "big deal". But won't know till I dig deeper into it.
