Ensure the sticky surface of the stamp is clean and free from dust or debris. If it has lost tackiness, gently clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Ensure you have removed any protective film.
Uneven or incomplete ink coverage.
Apply ink evenly to the stamp surface. Avoid pressing too hard or too lightly onto the ink pad. Ensure the stamp is clean and free from any residue that might interfere with ink adhesion.
Stamp loses stickiness over time.
Gently clean the sticky surface with a damp cloth or a specialized stamp cleaner. Allow the stamp to air dry completely. Avoid touching the sticky surface with your fingers.
