 Condition and prepare your stamps: When you initially get your stamps, you must lightly sand them with a Stamp pumice stone. This can provide the ink some consistency to truly stay to. You can recondition them at any level that you see the ink isn't inserting well. This is especially essential related to big stamps with lots of level surfaces. You should try this for both distinct and rubber stamps.

 Use a foam making mat. When I first realized to stamp around 20 years ago, I was prompted to buy a large foam mat to do each of my making on. Using the cushion under your paper, gives you a great fresh image. It helps to prevent that halo or smudge from printer that is sitting on the edges of the plastic as well. The foam “gives” as you press and the picture you get is a lot crisper. A sharp cushion is useful for this. You are able to press on a single area and pierce on the other. You may also utilize the foam craft patches from the children's portion of the craft store!

 Utilize the appropriate printer for the work: You need to choose the printer for the type of area you are creating on to get clean, clear photos that won't smear or smear. For instance, coloring centered inks work well for paper jobs but I'd choose a pigment ink for publishing on hardwood or glass.

Be sure you fully printer your stamp: Initially I make use of a press, I always test drive it on scrap paper. I also generally look at the plastic side following I printer it up. Drive it firmly into the ink pad and then view it to see if the ink is protecting the entire stamp. For bigger materials, you should think about using a brayer to help you fully cover then whole area of the stamp.

 Don't stone your stamp: Always be sure you press along, apply even stress and raise the press straight back up. Be careful never to rock the stamp as you are making the image. Rocking it can cause any ink on the sides of the plastic to move to your paper, providing you the halo of printer that people all loathe to see when we carry our stamps!
