FAQs
What is the advantage of cling stamps over traditional wood stamps?
Cling stamps are lighter, more compact for storage, and allow for precise placement and repositioning on clear acrylic blocks, offering greater versatility than heavier, pre-mounted wood stamps.
Do I need a special type of ink for these stamps?
No, these stamps are compatible with most standard stamping inks, including dye, pigment, and hybrid inks.
How do I clean the stamps?
Clean stamps with a stamp cleaner or a damp cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.
Can I use these stamps without an acrylic block?
No, these stamps require a clear acrylic block to be used for stamping. The block provides a handle and a surface for precise alignment.
What does 'deeply etched' mean for the rubber?
Deeply etched rubber means the design is cut into the rubber material with precision, allowing for finer details and clearer ink transfer onto your project.
How should I store these stamps to maintain their cling?
Store stamps on their original plastic backing sheet or on a smooth plastic surface. This helps preserve the static cling properties of the cushion.
Are these stamps made in the USA?
Yes, these Tim Holtz Cling Stamps are proudly made in the USA.
Troubleshooting
Stamps not adhering to acrylic block
Ensure both the stamp's cushion and the acrylic block are clean and free from dust or oils. If the cling property has diminished, try gently cleaning the cushion with a damp cloth and allowing it to air dry.
Uneven or faint ink impressions
Check that the stamp is evenly inked and that firm, even pressure is applied during stamping. Ensure the stamp is properly adhered to the acrylic block and not warped. Clean the stamp surface if it appears clogged.
Ink smudging during repositioning
Allow ink to dry completely on the paper before attempting to reposition the stamp. If repositioning the same stamp multiple times on the same project, consider using a quick-drying ink or heat setting the ink if appropriate for your paper.
