The provided reference suggests using a stamp cleaner pad, specifically the "Ink Off Stamp Cleaner Pad" by inkon3.com. After using the cleaner, you simply wipe off the excess.
Based on this, here's a general approach to removing stamp ink:
-
Use a Stamp Cleaner: Utilize a commercially available stamp cleaner solution or pad (like the one mentioned, "Ink Off Stamp Cleaner Pad").
-
Apply the Cleaner: Follow the specific instructions for the cleaner you're using. This might involve pressing the stamp onto a cleaning pad or applying a liquid cleaner with a cloth or brush.
-
Clean Thoroughly: Ensure the entire inked area of the stamp makes contact with the cleaner.
-
Wipe Away Excess: After cleaning, wipe away any excess cleaner from the stamp surface. This prevents the cleaner from damaging the stamp material over time.
Keep in mind that the exact method and effectiveness can vary depending on the type of ink used (dye-based, pigment-based, etc.) and the material of the stamp (rubber, photopolymer, etc.). Some inks may be more resistant to removal than others.
