Conditioning Stamps

After the rubber stamp manufacturing process, a thin layer of residue remains on the rubber that needs to be removed to ensure perfect images of your Solid image stamps (like the hat and cupcake images shown on the cards below).

StazOn Cleaner
My personal favourite method is using the StazOn cleaner. It is strong enough to remove the film on the stamp without worry of damaging them. Before the first use, I dab my stamp with the solvent, rub it several times on my stamp scrubber, then clean it again with my regular stamp cleaner before applying the first ink application.

Your images will be more crisp.
Give it a try.
