When clear stamps are brand new they want to repel ink. Take a standard pink eraser to scuff the surface. It will help your clear stamp hold ink and get a better image.

Storing Your Clear Stamps

Because Clear stamps are made of a light-sensitive material, they can actually get gooey, discolor or harden as time goes on. This problem can be made worse by sunlight, indoor lighting, oil-based products, acetone and bleach.

Store your clear stamps in a light-free container, such as a cardboard shoe box. Even indoor light will discolor and eventually harden your clear stamps.

Cleaning your Clear Stamps

Once you ink up your stamp, your stamp will never be as clear as it was in the package.

Baby wipes without lanolin are a great method of cleaning polymer stamps. You can also use mild soap and water.

We know you love StazON and other Solvent-based inks. They aren't the best choice to use with polymer stamps, though. The cleaners are pretty hard on the stamp. The StazOn cleaner can actually damage your polymer stamp.

There are cleaners out there though, made specifically to be gentle enough for use with polymer stamps, that can clean these inks as well. These are a better alternative, baby.

We hope to get a cleaner on the site soon. In the meantime, Ranger makes an awesome one.
