Posted: 3/1/2013 10:25:48 AM I just bought the Oh Snap Clear Stamp Set. I am so in love with it. But I stamped with it and the black ink soaked through the stamp! The black ink will not come out! I'm not totally worried, just confused. I wonder if this is normal? Could some on explain why that happened? And will that ruin the stamp? Thank you! -Lizzie

Posted: 3/1/2013 11:48:43 AM That is completely normal. Ink will always stain your clear stamps. You can use stamp cleaner with a stamp scrubber. I can't stand my stamps stained. I just crazy like that I rinse my stamp with water, spritz, and scrub and they stay like new. If you use stazon or other archival inks you can use the stazon cleaner.

It is normal for ink to stain clear photopolymer stamps. Cleaning them with a baby wipe is all I do. The discoloration will not affect future stamping projects.
