Troubleshooting
Stamp not picking up ink properly.
Ensure the stamp surface is clean and free of dust or oils. Lightly buffing the stamp with a fine-grit eraser can sometimes help improve ink adhesion. Check that your ink pad is not too dry.
Inconsistent or faint impressions.
Apply even pressure when stamping. Ensure the stamp is fully inked. Check that the acrylic block is clean and free of smudges. Try a different ink pad or a more fluid ink.
Stamp image is blurry or smudged.
Avoid rocking or twisting the stamp when pressing it down. Ensure you are using a firm, straight down-and-up motion. Make sure the surface you are stamping on is stable.
Stamp is difficult to remove from the acrylic block.
Gently peel the stamp off. If it seems stuck, use a little water or stamp cleaner around the edges to help release it. Ensure both the stamp and block are clean for future use.
