Troubleshooting
Stamp impression is faint or blotchy.
Ensure the stamp is clean and free of debris. Apply ink evenly to the stamp surface, not too much or too little. Press firmly and evenly onto the project surface. Check if the ink pad needs re-inking.
Stamp is difficult to align correctly.
Use an acrylic block with grid lines or a stamping platform (like a MISTI) for precise placement. Practice positioning before inking the stamp.
Ink smudges after stamping.
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or layering elements. Ensure the project surface is suitable for the chosen ink type. Clean the stamp thoroughly after use to prevent residual ink from causing issues.
Stamp appears to be damaged or has 'flash' (excess material).
Gently remove any excess material with a craft knife or fine-grit sandpaper if it interferes with stamping. Ensure the stamp is not stored under heavy objects that could warp it.
