FAQs
What surfaces does StazOn Forest Green ink adhere to?
It adheres to most non-porous surfaces, including acetate, acrylic, metal, leather, shrink plastic, cellophane, plastic, and glass. It also works on paper.
How long does the ink take to dry?
StazOn ink is a fast-drying solvent ink, typically drying within minutes on non-porous surfaces. Drying time can vary based on surface porosity and environmental conditions.
Can I use StazOn ink on fabric?
While it adheres to leather, testing on fabric is recommended as fabric porosity varies greatly. If used on fabric, it may require heat setting for permanence and washability, but check StazOn's official guidelines for fabric use.
How do I clean ink off my stamps?
Use a dedicated stamp cleaner such as StazOn Stamp Cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Avoid water-based cleaners.
Is this ink permanent?
Yes, StazOn ink is designed to be permanent once fully dried, especially on non-porous surfaces.
What is the difference between StazOn Opaque and regular StazOn?
Regular StazOn has a translucent finish, allowing the surface color to show through. StazOn Opaque provides a more solid, opaque coverage, making it ideal for stamping on darker surfaces.
Do I need special ventilation when using this ink?
Yes, due to its solvent-based nature, it is recommended to use StazOn ink in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Inkpad seems dry or is not transferring ink well.
Rehydrate the inkpad using StazOn Ink Cleaner or the corresponding StazOn Refill Ink. Ensure the lid was properly sealed between uses.
Ink is smudging after application.
Allow more drying time. Ensure the surface is clean and free of oils or residue. If smudging persists on a non-porous surface, ensure you are using the correct StazOn formulation for that material.
Stamp is difficult to clean.
Use a dedicated stamp cleaner like StazOn Stamp Cleaner or a solution of isopropyl alcohol. Scrub gently with a brush if necessary.
Ink bleeds on porous surfaces like paper.
Ensure the inkpad is not oversaturated. For delicate papers, consider using a lighter pressure or a stamping sponge instead of direct pad contact. Test on scrap material first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The StazOn Ink Pad comes ready to use. Ensure the lid is sealed when not in use to prevent drying. For larger stamps, the raised inkpad allows for full coverage.
Compatibility: This ink is compatible with most stamps, including rubber and clear photopolymer stamps. It adheres best to non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, plastic, acetate, shrink plastic, cellophane, and leather. It also works on paper, but results will be permanent and may bleed through thin paper if not managed.
Care: To maintain the inkpad, always securely close the lid after each use. If the pad begins to dry out, use StazOn Ink Cleaner or StazOn Refill Ink (in the appropriate color and finish) to rehydrate it. For cleaning stamps, use StazOn Stamp Cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Avoid using water-based cleaners, as they are generally ineffective on this solvent-based ink.
