Conditioning Clear stamps??

[Booboostamper]

HI. I have just started to buy some clear stamps. I bought some from Saltbox Studio and Amuse. Do I need to do anything to them before stamping with them? I seem to remember reading something about that and can not find it now. I don't want to mess the stamps up and I am excited to use them.

a muse uses high quality polymer stamps, so no need to condition them. perfect images right out of the package!

The higher quality photopolymers (like you've purchased) really don't require any pre-treating, however, I do find that they really start to work their best magic after they've been used a few times. ;) So just ink and stamp onto scratch paper a few times and you should be good to go! HTH

(PS - the less expensive vinyl stamps are the ones that usually need to be seasoned... a good scuffing with an eraser will usually help give them more tooth.)
