Troubleshooting
Stamp image is faint or uneven
Ensure the stamp is fully inked by pressing it evenly onto the ink pad. Try a different ink pad or re-ink your current one. Clean the stamp thoroughly as dried ink can affect impressions.
Ink smudges after stamping
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. Use a faster-drying ink or a more absorbent paper surface. Ensure you are using a light, even pressure when stamping.
Wood handle is sticky or dirty
Gently wipe the wood handle with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid getting the rubber stamp surface wet. Ensure the stamp is dry before use or storage.
