Troubleshooting
Faint or patchy impressions
Ensure the stamp surface is clean and free of debris. Apply ink evenly to the entire stamp surface using a stamping pad. Apply firm, even pressure when stamping. You may need to re-ink the pad or try a different ink.
Ink bleeding or smudging
This can happen with very porous paper or too much ink. Use less ink on the stamp or switch to a smoother, less absorbent paper. Ensure the stamped image is completely dry before touching it.
Stamp image is distorted
Check that the stamp is securely mounted to the wood block. Avoid excessive force when cleaning, which could damage the rubber. Ensure the stamp is stored flat to prevent warping.
