Self-inking stamps are one
of the easiest ways to get things done in a jiffy. Made with a flat surface, crisp
indents and adhesiveness for better grip, rubber stamps are known to produce
crisp and clear impressions when mixed with ink of choice. However, there may
be chances when you are able to get the right impression. Here are the five
most common fixable mistakes and what can be done to make the outcome better.
Stains
Splotches of ink can occur
sometimes when you are not paying close attention to the stamping. This can
potentially ruin the document or design you plan to have. While it is almost
impossible to get rid of the stain marks, you can do one thing for sure. If the
stain marks are present along the edges, try trimming the rubber stamp or make
use of the sponge daubers and run them along the additional texture.

Stained
lines
If the lines of the self-inking
stamped image are stained, you can choose to overlay the stamped design or
consider adding embellishment which will cover up the mistakes. For instance,
choose to cover the lines of the stamped image with glitters or other
embellishments. You can even choose to make use of other options to minimize
the visibility of the lines.
·
Consistency
As self-inking stamps can
be used for more than once, therefore consistency can be an issue since the
applied pressure can have an effect on the final image. Therefore to ensure
consistency, make sure to put the stamp on a flat surface with ink side up.
Place the paper on the stamp so that the ink is evenly distributed and you
achieve the required consistency.
·
Texture
If you are using DIY
stamps, make sure to do the print test and smooth out the areas where the
texture is not right. This could potentially save you from having to fix a lot
of work as you will be doing the same in advance.
These were some of the
fixable mistakes that are commonly seen. By catering to some imperfections, you
can use the self-inking stamps to their potential.
