Stamp Smear Disaster

[mhPops24]

So I bought two rubber stamps to be used on some retail kettle corn bags that I sell at my mother's store. The problem is the bags are a slick material and the stamps are smearing. Even after sitting out all night. Is there anything that i can do to stop this or prevent it in the first place?:confused:

You probably need a different kind of ink. Staz-On is a permanent ink that can be used on non-porous surfaces. Staz-On takes a bit to dry, but after stamping you can give it a once-over with a heat gun or set them aside for awhile.

If you're using pigment ink, You need to heat set them. Using a embossing heat gun

Try using a Dye ink. They dry fast!!

Also check this thread out: Pigment ink vs dye ink.

I think it will help you understand what type of ink will work better.

If the bags are plastic, you cannot use a heat gun. It will melt them.

My vote is staZon.
