Partial Inking

Experiment with partial inking of your stamp allows you to use only the image or message. Dab the ink pad on the stamp, being sure no ink has appears on the part of the image you don't want to use.

After inking, look at the rubber under the light, to see if all the rubber areas you wish to use are shiny with ink color. Dab additional amounts of ink in the areas that do not appear shiny. Remove any undesired ink with a cotton swab. Practice stamping on scratch paper to acquaint yourself with a new image.
