Troubleshooting
Stamp impression is faint or uneven.
Ensure the stamp is evenly inked by tapping it gently on the ink pad. Apply firm, consistent pressure when stamping. Check if the ink pad is dry and needs re-inking or replacement.
Ink smudges during stamping.
This can happen if too much ink is on the stamp or if the surface is not absorbent enough. Try using less ink or a different type of paper. Ensure you are pressing straight down rather than sliding the stamp.
Stamp is difficult to clean.
Clean the stamp immediately after use with a dedicated stamp cleaner or a damp cloth. For stubborn ink, a soft-bristled brush might help, followed by a thorough rinse and drying.
Rubber appears dry or cracked.
This may indicate the stamp has been stored improperly or exposed to harsh conditions. Store stamps in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid using harsh solvents for cleaning.
