What black ink do you use with your photopolymer (clear) stamps?
It depends on how the stamped image will be used. When it will be stamped and nothing more done, my choice of black ink is Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad because it doesn’t stain the photopolymer stamps.
But, when I want to watercolor the stamped image, I prefer Basic Black Archival Stampin’ Pad ink over Jet Black StazOn. Whichever of these inks you use, they stain the stamps.
One day I wondered if StazOn Cleaner could remove the black ink. Immediately after stamping with Basic Black Archival
Stampin’ Pad ink I cleaned it with StazOn Cleaner. It did a really good job removing the ink.
Stampin’ Pad ink I cleaned it with StazOn Cleaner. It did a really good job removing the ink.
My next thought was “Will this harm my photopolymer stamps?” I called Stampin’ Up! to ask and was told the solvent in StazOn Cleaner will eventually turn the photopolymer material into gel. Rut ro! So glad I asked. We’ll stick to using Stampin’ Mist with our photopolymer stamp and save the StazOn Cleaner for our red rubber stamps.
