Applying ink to a rubber stamp is a fairly simple process, but there are a few things to keep in mind to get the best results.Choosing Ink for Your Rubber StampFirst, choose an ink that is specifically designed for rubber stamps - these inks will generally be more vibrant and longer lasting than other types of ink. Depending on your project, you have a choice between a pigment ink or dye ink. To learn more about each type of ink read pigment vs dye ink pads.How to Avoid Uneven and Blotchy Stamp ImpressionsSecond, make sure your stamp is clean and dry - ink will not adhere well to a dirty or wet surface. When applying the ink be sure to pat the ink pad against the stamp and not the other way around. The ink can become uneven and blotchy if you press the stamp on the ink pad. The process of inking a rubber stamp vs a clear stamp is the same.
