Question
Can I use my rubber stamp on different surfaces?
Answer
Yes, rubber stamps are versatile, but the surface and the ink pad you pair them with decide how clean the impression looks.
- Works well on: paper, cardstock, envelopes, and kraft paper.
- Works with the right ink: some fabrics take a stamp, though results vary.
- Oil-based ink: better for glossy or non-porous materials like coated cards and some plastics.
- Water-based ink: ideal for standard, porous paper where it dries fast and clean.
On any tricky surface, test on a scrap first and give non-porous materials extra drying time before stacking.
