Troubleshooting
Stamp not adhering to acrylic block
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and free from dust or residue. If the cling property has diminished, a light rinse with water and air drying may help restore it.
Faint or broken impressions
Check that the stamp is evenly inked and that you are applying firm, consistent pressure. Ensure the surface you are stamping on is flat. Clean the stamp thoroughly as ink buildup can affect impressions.
Ink smudging after stamping
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. If using fast-drying inks on non-porous surfaces, ensure compatibility or use a drying spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove the stamps from their packaging. They are typically mounted on a clear backing sheet.

- Ink the stamp using your preferred ink pad (dye, pigment, or alcohol ink).
- Press the inked stamp firmly and evenly onto your desired surface.
Compatibility:
- Acrylic Blocks: Compatible with any standard clear acrylic stamping blocks. Ensure the block size is suitable for the stamp you are using.
- Inks: Works with most standard stamp inks, including dye inks, pigment inks, and embossing powders. For best results on different surfaces, consider specialized inks.
- Surfaces: Suitable for paper, cardstock, fabric (with fabric ink), and other porous surfaces.
Care:
- After each use, clean the stamp thoroughly. Gently wipe away excess ink with a baby wipe or a damp cloth. For stubborn ink, use a stamp cleaner.
- Ensure the stamp is completely dry before returning it to the backing sheet or storage.
- Re-adhere the cleaned stamp to its original backing sheet or store it on a 3-hole punched sheet in a binder to maintain its cling properties and prevent damage.
