Troubleshooting
Stamp not adhering to the block
Ensure both the acrylic block surface and the back of the stamp are clean and dry. Lightly misting the stamp with water can sometimes help it adhere.
Uneven ink coverage on stamped image
Ensure the stamp is applied evenly to the acrylic block. Apply ink to the stamp with consistent pressure. Check that the ink pad is not dried out.
Difficulty seeing stamp placement through the acrylic
Ensure the protective film (if any) has been removed from the acrylic block. Use in good lighting conditions.
