Cleaning PaperTrey Stamps
I like the clear PaperTrey stamps, but I have a question about cleaning them. I used Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink in Warm Red on a sentiment and cleaned it right away (within a couple of minutes) with my Stampin' Mist and Scrub and the stamp is still red. Is that normal? It really doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't contaminate lighter color inkpads.

I'm no expert, but the same thing happened with mine. It's just stained. There's not really any ink left on it. So it doesn't affect the next stamp pad you use. I've even used my stained stamps in Versamark: and no messy stamp pad.

They do stain, but it doesn't affect the stamping. It's just the nature of the clear.

Yup clear stamps get stained up pretty good and it's totally unavoidable - I just always make sure to give them a really good scrubbing and then leave it at that - and LOL I actually like that they get stained as it makes it easy to see which stamps I havent' used yet!!! ;)

Not much you can do about the staining - it just shows how you love your stamps

LOL yup actually I like that too - I'm normally so picky(*snicker* I was going to use the word an*l but I just remembered the whole word get's bleeped out:rolleyes: !) with staining and my stamps but I find it's easier to see them - specially when they've been used for a while and they're all different colors - I think it's pretty (see there's my inner dork coming out!!! :mrgreen: ) |

Staining also makes it easier to find them when you drop them on the floor;)

It's totally normal and expected. The little rolled up paper that comes with the sets even say this can happen but it does not affect the stamp.
