FAQs
What size acrylic block do I need for the MRJ Clear Stamps Strawberry?
The ideal size of the acrylic block depends on the desired coverage and how you plan to use the stamp. Generally, choose a block that is slightly larger than the stamp itself to provide adequate surface area for handling.
Can I use this stamp with markers instead of ink pads?
While possible, using markers directly on clear stamps can sometimes lead to uneven ink distribution and potential damage to the stamp. It is best to use traditional ink pads designed for rubber or clear stamps for optimal results.
How do I remove the stamp from the acrylic block?
Gently peel the stamp off the acrylic block. If it feels stuck, you can carefully lift an edge with a non-sharp tool or by slightly moistening your finger.
Will this stamp work on fabric or other surfaces?
These stamps are primarily designed for use with paper and cardstock. While some inks may work on other surfaces, performance and durability can vary significantly. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How long do the stamps last?
With proper care and cleaning, clear stamps can last for many years, retaining their adhesive qualities and stamp clarity.
Can I cut or trim the clear stamp?
It is not recommended to cut or trim clear stamps, as this can damage the design and affect their ability to adhere to the acrylic block.
Troubleshooting
Stamp is not sticking to the acrylic block.
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and dry. Dust or residue can prevent adhesion. If the stamp has lost tackiness over time, try gently cleaning it with a damp cloth and allowing it to air dry.
Uneven or faint ink transfer.
Apply even pressure when stamping. Ensure the stamp is fully inked by dabbing it onto the ink pad rather than rubbing. Check that the ink pad is not dried out. Make sure the stamp is properly adhered to the acrylic block.
Ink smears when stamping.
This could be due to the ink type or the paper surface. Allow the ink to dry fully before touching. Ensure you are using a fast-drying ink if needed. Clean the stamp immediately after use to prevent ink from drying on it.
