Our stamps
Above, I have laid a 8×6 stampset, Celtic heritage out on a sheet of standard US cardstock so that you can get some sense of the size of our stamp sets.
My Stamp sets
WMS stamps are made in the USA from high grade non yellowing photopolymer resin.
WMS stamps are made from yellowing resistant photopolymers. These polymers are designed and produced for the printing industry and are meant to carry and transfer ink. Which is why they stamp so well.
Photopolymer clear stamps can and should last a life time. There is no specific life span on photopolymer clear stamps, with proper use and general cleaning and care they should last as long as traditional rubber stamps.
Photopolymer is latex free and has NO known ingredients that are harmful to you. The materials used to produce these are bio‐degradable and are also not harmful to our environment.
Naturally sticky back: These stamps have an excellent back adhesion, allowing repositioning on an acrylic block, stamping. Storage on plastic keeps the stamp back sticky and clean for many years.Easy storage: Stamps can be peeled off an acrylic block and stored on plastic in a folder taking up little space.
Ink compatibility: These stamps are designed to work excellently with all water based inks which account for over 90% of all stamp ink use. They will work with solvent inks, but prolonged use may weaken the stamp.
TIP – When you first use a new stamp, take a moment to ink it up and stamp a few times on scratch paper to prime the stamp, alternatively you may find that rubbing a good quality eraser over the face of the stamp before you start will help to prime the surface, I use a fabric eraser, it is extra soft and very good for this purpose.
How do I clean my stamps?
The best thing to do is use a stamp cleaner specially formulated for clear photopolymer stamps, I advise folks NOT TO USE Stazon cleaner at this time. It will clean the stamp beautifully but over time it will weaken the stamps. Occasionally I use a mild soap and water to restore the stickines. I keep a very soft old toothbrush around for shifting stubborn ink in corners.
