Troubleshooting
Stamp not adhering to acrylic block
Ensure both the stamp and the block surface are clean and dry. If the sticky back has lost its tack, try gently cleaning it with a damp cloth and allowing it to air dry completely.
Faint or incomplete stamped image
Ensure the stamp is evenly inked. Try applying more pressure when stamping. Check that the stamp is clean and free from debris. If using a dark ink on a light surface, ensure sufficient ink coverage.
Stamp appears yellowed
While designed not to yellow, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade materials. Store stamps in their original packaging or a dark container away from light.
Difficulty aligning stamp precisely
Use a grid on your acrylic block or a stamping platform for extra alignment guides. Practice positioning the stamp on the block before inking.
