FAQs
Can I use this with clear stamps?

Use a microfiber cloth dampened with water or a mild stamp cleaner. Avoid using abrasive sponges.
What should I do if I lose the magnets?

Why can I not have this shipped to the USA or Canada?
This specific item (1707E) has regional distribution restrictions that prevent it from being shipped to those territories.
Troubleshooting
Stamp is not transferring ink fully to the paper
Ensure your stamp is positioned on a flat surface and the lid is pressed down evenly across the entire surface area.
Paper slips during the stamping process
Verify that the magnets are placed firmly on the corners of your paper and that the paper is not covering the hinge pivot point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the platform, simply place your paper on the base and secure the edges with the provided magnets. Place your stamp onto the paper in your desired position, then lower the hinged lid to pick up the stamp. Apply ink to the stamp and press the lid down firmly onto the paper. For care, keep the clear lid clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated stamp cleaner; avoid using harsh chemicals that could cloud the plastic. Always ensure magnets are kept away from sensitive electronic equipment when not in use.
