FAQ's -
NEW- Adirondack® Product Line
Changes
Adirondack® Dye Inks |
| |
|
Have there been some changes to Adirondack® Dye Inks?
|
Yes, there have been three significant changes: (1) a
new
Adirondack Dye Ink stamp pad case; (2) an
extension to the ink color palette and (3) renaming some
colors.
The case has a new design for increased functionality.
The lid is now fully removable and has a tighter fit and
better seal. The cases are also stackable. The base now
has a better grip for inking stamps and direct-to-paper
techniques.
The color palette of inks has been extended to match the
Adirondack
Acrylic Paint Dabbers in the Coordinating Colors
of 12 Earthtones, 12 Lights and 12 Brights. The other 12
original Earthtones Dye Inks in the Adirondack palette
are still available. The Coordinating Colors palette
means that you can use a color shade such as blue
(example: Cloudy Blue “Light”, Sailboat Blue “Bright”
and Denim “Earthtone”). They all coordinate to create
beautiful monochromatic looks.
The Adirondack Lights were formerly Ranger Sea Shell Dye
Inks, and the Adirondack Brights were formerly Ranger
Sea Brights Dye Inks. These colors have always
coordinated across the product lines. To make it easier
for customers, Ranger has melded them into the
Adirondack brand. Some names of former Sea Shells and
Sea Brights have changed to reflect a closer
relationship to the Adirondack “mountain” brand, rather
than “seashore” names.
To round out the color palette, there are five new
shades: Salmon, Mountain Rose, Lake Mist, Pebble, and
Hazelnut.
Click here for a chart of the complete
Coordinating Colors Chart of Earthtones, Lights and
Brights for Adirondack Dye Inks and Adirondack Acrylic
Paint Dabbers. Where color names have changed, the Chart
reflects new and old names. This will make it easier to
recognize colors you may already own in the Sea Shells
and Sea Brights Dye Inks. The five new shades are also
identified as “new”.

| FAQ's -
Adirondack Coordinating Colors |
| |
|
I keep hearing about Adirondack®
Coordinating Colors, but I really don’t know what it
means. Can you explain in more detail? |
Sure. Ranger has taken the guesswork
out of color-matching! Coordinating Colors means that
within a specific Adirondack product there are 3
different hues of the same color—an Adirondack Light,
Bright and Earthtone. So, Salmon “Light”, Mountain Rose
“Bright” and Red Pepper “Earthtone” are all hues of the
same red color and will create gorgeous monochromatic
looks in your craft projects. The Adirondack products
that have 12 Coordinating Colors of Lights, Brights and
Earthtones are Dye Inks and Acrylic Paint Dabbers.

for a chart of the complete Coordinating Colors Chart of
Earthtones, Lights and Brights.
|
|
What about the other Adirondack products
– do they coordinate too? |
You can be sure that across all Adirondack products, the
same 12 Earthtones will coordinate. For example, Lettuce
Embossing Powder will match Lettuce Dye Ink, Lettuce
Color Wash™, Lettuce Alcohol Ink and a Lettuce Acrylic
Paint Dabber for a completely color coordinated project.
Click
here for a chart of the Adirondack product line
that shows what Earthtone colors are available for each
Adirondack product. All 24 original Adirondack Earthtone
colors are still available in Dye Inks, Alcohol Inks and
Pigment Pens.

| FAQ's -
Adirondack® Dimensional
Pearls™ (formerly Adirondack Acrylics) |
|
|
|
I have used Adirondack® Acrylics for a few years. I
noticed a product called Adirondack® Dimensional Pearls™
in similar packaging. Is it the same product? |
Yes, it is the same, great pearlized acrylic paint
product. The name was changed to
Adirondack Dimensional Pearls to alleviate confusion
with the similarly named Adirondack Acrylic Paint
Dabbers. Adirondack Dimensional Pearls are a pearlized
acrylic paint with a needle-nose tip applicator. The
Dimensional Pearls are available in 12 Adirondack
Earthtone colors that match the other coordinating
Adirondack Earthtone products.
The
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers are a matte acrylic
paint in a 1 ounce bottle with a dabber top applicator.
They are available in 36 Coordinating Colors (12 Lights,
12 Brights and 12 Earthtones), as well as black and
white. There are also 4 Metallics – Gold, Pearl, Copper
and Silver.

| FAQ's -
Cut n’ Dry™ |
| |
|
How do I use Cut n’ Dry Foam? |
Cut n’ Dry Foam
is ideal for creating shading and distress effects by
rubbing it directly from ink pad to paper. It
enables
you to have more control over the coverage and be able
to create softer edges than using an ink pad applied
directly to the paper. Cut n’ Dry Foam can also be used
as a custom ink pad by applying
Big & Bossy
Embossing Ink,
Liquid Pearls,
Adirondack
Acrylics,
Decorit
and
Heat Set Inks.
For details on the versatility of Cut n’ Dry Foam,

| FAQ's - Embossed Powders |
| |
|
How do I use Distress Embossing Powders? |
Distress
Embossing Powders are unique in the industry
since they do not give the typical raised, embossed look
and finish. When embossed, they have a matte, textured
finish. In addition, release crystals in the powders,
when heat embossed, cooled and lightly rubbed, will
remove some of the powder to create a weathered, worn
look.
See more Tips &
Techniques on Distress Embossing Powders. |
|
|
|
What are Embossing Pearls and how are
they different than many other embossing powders? |
Embossing Pearls
have subtle coloring when viewing them from the jars,
but add them to paper, emboss with a
Heat It Craft Tool and that’s when they have a lot
of punch! Stamp an image with a
Big & Bossy
Embossing Pad on white paper. Sprinkle on Silver
Pearl, heat emboss and you have an elegant card. Cream
paper looks especially beautiful with Gold Pearl or Pale
Gold Pearl. And for a different effect, try embossing
with black pigment ink or on dark papers – stunning. |
|
|
|
What is UTEE and how do use it? |
Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel is a large particle
embossing powder that adds dimension to paper, fiber and
decorative arts. It can be embossed on top of paper. One
layer creates a bumpy finish, more layers creates a
smooth finish. A stamp can be pressed into warm
UTEE for
a few seconds and removed to create an impression of the
image in the UTEE which can then be highlighted or
decorated with ink,
Metallic
Mixatives,
Metallic
Inkabilities or
Beadazzles.
UTEE can be melted in the Ranger
Melting Pot
to create jewelry or embellishments by dipping a craft
shape, piece of a CD, glass, shrink plastic into the hot
UTEE. Using Ranger
Mold n’ Pour,
a mold can be created of a favorite jewelry piece and
UTEE can be melted and poured from the Melting Pot into
the mold again and again to create additional works of
art. |

General Paper Crafting |
| |
|
I’m
new to paper crafting and confused over all the products
out there. What are the tools I really need to get
started? |
I’m new to paper crafting and confused over all the
products out there. What are the tools I really need to
get started?
Ranger has taken the confusion out of getting started in
paper crafting with our
Inkssentials line of 26 essential tools for paper crafters,
rubber stampers, scrapbookers, card makers and altered
artists. Below are a few that all crafters will find
necessary for their toolbox.
The Ranger
Heat It Craft
Tool is
indispensable for all crafters and artists. Even if you
don’t do heat embossing projects with embossing powder,
the Heat It Craft Tool is essential to speed drying of
other inked, glued, and painted projects on paper, wood,
metal, shrink plastic and more.
The Ranger
Non-Stick Craft Sheet
protects your work surface and is ideal for most craft
mediums. The non-stick surface can be used as a paint or
ink palette, for embossing, painting ironing, stamping,
baking and Melt Art projects. It is heat resistant up to
400 degrees.

| |
|
I’m
new to cardmaking and scrapbooking with stamps. What are
the stamping products I need to get started? |
The basic stamping products we recommend are stamp pad
inks for inking your rubber stamp designs, cleaner for
your stamps, embossing ink and embossing powder, pens
for coloring and edging, and decorative glues to add
dimension and embellish your cards and layouts.
To get started with inks, you must have a permanent dye
ink for detailed, bold, and alphabet stamp images.
Ranger
Archival
Inks are
available in a variety of colors. The two indispensable
colors all stampers need are Jet Black and Sepia.
For a variety of dye inks in beautiful hues the
Adirondack
(rich earth tones)
will cover a spectrum of colors. These inks were
designed to coordinate beautifully when used with each
other.
Water-based
Cleaners are used to clean water-based dye and
pigment inks from stamps. Ranger makes two water-based
cleaners. The
Water-based Stamp Cleaner
in a 4 oz. spray bottle with a bubble gum scent is
sprayed directly on a stamp to clean off inks. It can
also be sprayed on our Rub It Scrub
It pad for
cleaning stamps using the pad.
Ranger
Cleans It All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner
was developed to clean all types of inks off of rubber
stamp surfaces: dye inks, pigment inks, and solvent
based inks. This cleaner is recommended for cleaning
Ranger Archival Ink from rubber stamps. For cleaning
solvent inks, the cleaner should be applied to the
rubber stamp for 1 minute before rubbing off. This
cleaner is acid-free and non-toxic.
Ranger Embossing Inks and Embossing Powders are a great
way to enhance your cards and scrapbook pages with the
elegance of professional embossing. Ranger has a variety
of Embossing Powders
that can create different effects such as metallic,
opaque color, interference tones, the glitz of tinsel,
earthtones, matte and textured looks and more. Used with
either the Ranger
Emboss It ink
or the
Big n’ Bossy ink pad,
one stamp will create a multitude of looks depending
upon the embossing powder used.
Using pens is an easy and quick way to color or
highlight a stamped image. Ranger
Adirondack Pigment Pens
are the perfect choice to extend the rich, earth tone
palette of the
Adirondack Dye Ink Pads.
Another option for pens is to try Inkssentials
Embossing Pens
which are ideal for writing titles, names, outlining and
spot embossing with embossing powders.
Decorative Glues enhance artwork by giving the extra
finish a card or scrapbook page might need.
Glossy Accents
is a 3-dimensional, clear gloss medium that can accent
and brighten artwork. It can also be used as an
embellishment glue.
Stickles
Glitter Glue adds sparkle in 30 gorgeous shades.
Liquid Pearls
is a pearl medium that adds dimension and can also be
used as an embellishment glue.

| |
|
What
is the difference between Glossy Accents and other
Dimensional Acrylic lacquers?
|
Glossy Accents is more dimensional than any other

| FAQ's - Inks |
| |
|
What is the difference
between dye ink and Archival Ink™?
|
Archival Ink™ is fade and water-resistant,
dye-based ink. It dries on all types of paper like a dye
ink, however, unlike water-based dye ink Archival Ink
won’t smear when brushed over with watercolors and
water-based markers. Stamp out a line image in Archival
Inks and let it dry. Use watercolors, a water brush,
water-based markers or
Cut n’ Dry Nibs with any of our water based
ink (Adirondack,
Distress,
Nick
Bantock) to color in
without fear of ‘the smear’. Archival Inks are the
perfect choice for journals, scrapbooks or any stamped
image that needs permanence. Remember to choose your
paper with care making sure it is acid-free. Archival
Inks™ and Ranger’s
Gloss Paper™ are the perfect match of beauty
and function. They provide the color you want with the
archival qualities your artwork deserves. They also work
well on glass, dominoes (and other game pieces),
plastic, fabric, metal, leather and polymer clay. |
|
|
|
What is the difference
between dye ink and pigment ink? |
Pigment
inks are thick and opaque while dye inks are
thinner in consistency and transparent. This means that
Pigment inks appear similar in the stamp pad to the
color they stamp out.
Dye inks
thinner consistency makes them more concentrated so they
appear darker in the stamp pad bearing no resemblance to
the color the ink will stamp out . Dyes dissolve in
solution and blend well while pigments do not dissolve,
making them easier to clean off of hands and stamps.
Pigments are more light and heat stable than most dyes,
which makes pigment inks a good choice when your
finished art will be displayed. Pigment Inks take longer
to dry and are a good choice to use as an embossing ink.
Water based, pigment inks do not dry on coated paper or
non-porous surfaces. Dye Inks dry quickly on all types
of paper making them easier to work with and a favorite
of many crafters. |
|
|
|
Can I emboss with dye
ink? |
Yes, as long as the dye ink is wet enough to accept
the embossing powder you can emboss it. With a wet
enough stamping, paper that is not overly absorptive, a
quick dusting of the wet stamping with
embossing powder and the use of a gentle heat
tool you can emboss dye inks. In fact, Ranger started
using embossing powder many years ago when rubber
stampers only used dye inks. For best results use the
Ranger Heatit craft tool or heat from below so the
powder does not blow off of the stamping. The Heat it
Craft tool is an excellent choice for this application
because it delivers heat without excessive blowing (this
also makes it perfect for fine detail embossing
powders). It’s quiet too, so you can talk while
embossing!
Distress Inks emboss well and Ranger's
Distress Embossing Powders are especially
striking when embossed in the
"double distress" method originated by Tim
Holtz. |
|
|
|
I stamped my card with
pigment ink and the ink isn’t drying – why? |
If the paper has a glossy surface, the pigment ink will
never dry. The solution is to emboss the image with
Clear
Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Ranger
Heat It
Craft Tool. |
|
|
|
I stamped my card with dye
ink and when I colored in the image with markers, the
ink smeared – what happened? |
|
If
the dye ink used is not permanent, dye ink markers will
smear the original stamped image when the colors touch.
To avoid smearing the image and contaminating the tips
of your markers, be sure to use a permanent ink like
Ranger Archival Ink
to stamp images that will be colored with markers,
watercolor pencils and watercolor crayons. |
|
|
|
I used the Washable 4
Stamps ink on my baby’s hands and feet for a memory
book, and I can’t seem to get all of the ink off. What
should I use? |
The
Washable
4 Stamps ink is non-toxic and child-safe. But
remember it is a dye ink and dye inks can temporarily
stain skin. It should come off inky fingers that have
used a stamp pad for regular stamping by washing with
soap and water. However, when using a great deal of ink
directly to skin to get a full hand or footprint, we
recommend first putting some hand lotion on the skin as
a barrier before inking, then washing off with shampoo
and water. Most of the ink will then come off in the
first washing. |
|
|
|
Which Stamp Pads can be
refreshed with Perfect Ink Refresher? |
All
water-based dye stamp pads
including Adirondack™, Sea Brights™, Sea Shells™, Stamp
it™, Color it™ non-metallic Pads, Ranger Pigment™ Pads,
Ranger Basic™ Stamp Pads, Ink it™ & Pigment, Ink it™ Dye
Pads, Nick Bantock Pads™, Vintage Ink Pads™, Washables 4
Kids™ Pads and Big & Juicy™ Solids. Use it for water
based markers too! |
|
|
|
Which stamp pads should not
be used with Perfect Ink Refresher? |
Archival Ink
Pads contain waterproof ink that is not compatible.
Perfect Ink Refresher is not recommended for
rainbow pads. It will cause the colors to run together
and ‘muddy’ the surface. Tip: To keep pads juicy store
them upside down and level, never on their side. This is
particularly important with rainbow pads. |
|
|
|
Is there any difference
between the ink in Adirondack® Pens and in the
Adirondack® Pads? |
Yes.
Adirondack Pads contain acid-free, dye inks for
use in paper crafting.
Adirondack Pens contain a unique, permanent,
pigment ink that can be used on a variety of surfaces
including fabric, wood, metal, shrink plastic, vellum,
glossy and coated paper, acetate and polymer clay. The
archival quality, acid-free inks along with the
flexible, fine bullet nibs make them the perfect tool
for memory crafters and altered book artists. |
|
|
|
What is the difference
between the Ranger Rainbow Pads and other rainbow pads
and how can I keep them fresh? |
The
rainbow effect achieved by our
Adirondack and
Big & Juicy Rainbow pads provides a smooth
transition from one color to the next, not those
dreaded, unattractive stripes. Besides stamping with
them, these rainbows are great for
brayering onto
glossy paper for use as backgrounds.
Scrappers love the Big & Juicy rainbows for brayering
color right onto jumbo frame stamps.
Our hand-made rainbows are very popular with the most
savvy of stampers. The dye inks are applied in vertical
stripes onto the felt pads with no sectioning between
colors. The blending of the inks at the point where they
touch provides an easy progression from color to color.
Please know that our blended rainbows do not always
appear to have distinct color separations even when
fresh. This is normal and this is the beauty of these
rainbows. Also, note that the felt insert has a cloth
cover laminated to the top of the pad. Dyes tend to run
across this cloth covering much more quickly than they
blend in the felt below. Always stamp or brayer the
rainbow before making a judgement and you will be
pleasantly surprised.
Some color combinations do blend more quickly than
others, especially if they contain a lighter color next
to a darker tone. Lighter colors are always overtaken by
darker tones. Purchase a reinker of the lighter colors
in your rainbows so that you can refresh them regularly
and you will keep your rainbows beautiful. |
|
|
|
I’ve stamped Gloss Paper
with pigment ink and it isn’t drying. Why not? |
Pigment ink alone will never dry on glossy cardstock.
You must apply embossing powder and heat emboss the
image on the cardstock. |

| FAQ's -
Melt Art® |
| |
|
What is Melt Art? |
An art form in which craft materials are melted and
transformed into dimensional works of art using the
Ranger
Melting Pot and the
Melt Art
line of products. |
|
|
|
What is the Ranger Melting Pot and how do I use it? |
The
Melting Pot™
allows crafters to create original three dimensional
fashion jewelry, magnets, soap, candles, home décor art,
artifacts, paper and memory craft embellishments and
more. The Melting Pot is ergonomically designed and easy
to use.
Melt, dip and pour
Ultra Thick
Embossing Enamels,
embossing powders, soap, candle wax, beeswax, glue,
candy and more. Individual project pans allow you to
have multiple melting projects with one Melting Pot. See
Projects
and
Tips and Techniques for
many ideas on using the Melting Pot which belongs in
everyone’s craft room or art studio! |
|
|
|
What is the best way to melt UTEE? |
Melt UTEE directly in the
Melting Pot™
and cover the pot with the lid to get the quickest
melting. Resist the urge to keep opening the lid and
stirring. Stirring causes unnecessary bubbles in the
UTEE. Do not use a project pan - the UTEE will not melt
completely. |
|
|
|
What is the best way to melt wax, soap and chocolate? |
Use the project pans to get the best results when
melting beeswax, candle wax, candle gel, soap, glue,
crayons and chocolate. Remember, if using a project pan
for chocolate, dedicate that project pan to food only,
not craft products. If melting beeswax, keep one project
pan dedicated to the beeswax. You can reuse the stored
pan with the cooled wax, and remelt it each time you are
working on project in a different crafting session!
|
|
|
|
Can
I use the Melting Pot and a Project Pan for polymer
clay? |
Yes, using a Project Pan in the Melting Pot is a great
way to cure polymer clay without burning the bottom of
the clay piece. Place the clay directly in the Project
Pan. (If you don’t want the back of the clay piece that
touches the pan to be shiny, put a piece of polyester
batting cut to fit inside the pan before placing the
clay in it.) Heat the Melting Pot to the UTEE setting
(360 degrees). Since you are using the Project Pan, it
will diffuse the heat to a lower temperature (about
265).
Depending upon the clay manufacturer's instructions, the
rule of thumb is one quarter inch of clay takes 20
minutes. It is a good idea to have a thermometer handy
to check the temperature of 265 as you would with your
toaster oven as well - this assures that the clay is
baked at the proper temperature so that the plasticizers
built into the clay are baked out and that the cured
clay is not brittle.

| FAQ's -
Paper |
| |
|
I’ve tried to tint my glossy photo
paper with Distress Inks and I’m not getting the
results I expected. What happened? |
Photo paper has a different chemical make up than gloss
cardstock. Each photo paper manufacturer makes their
paper differently and it is not necessarily compatible
with dye inks. Experiment with different brands to see
what works for you.
Ranger
Gloss Paper cardstock is a clay-based paper that
works well with Distress and other dye inks. |
|
|
|
I’ve stamped Gloss Paper with pigment
ink and it isn’t drying. Why not? |
|
Pigment ink alone will never dry on glossy cardstock.
You must apply embossing powder and heat emboss the
image on the cardstock. |
|
|
|
How can I use Perfect Pearls with
Gloss Paper? |
There are several techniques you can use with Gloss
Paper. (1) Stamp with
Perfect Medium
and dust with
Perfect Pearls
on the glossy side of the cardstock. Heat set with
Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
to set the Perfect Pearls-some powder will dust off with
a brush, but most will set. (2) Use any
Perfect
Pearls techniques
on the matte side of the cardstock.
[Top

|
| FAQ's -
Perfect Pearls™ and
Medium |
| |
|
Is the Perfect Medium ink the same as
embossing ink? |
No. Embossing ink was
developed as a slow drying ink for use with embossing
powder. It can be removed from stamps using a
water-based stamp cleaner.
Perfect Medium was specially formulated as an
embellishing ink for
Perfect Pearls™. Although this is its primary
function, it is extremely versatile. It is an excellent
embossing ink for all types of powders including large
particle Ultra Thick
Embossing Powder™. It also works as a watermark
on absorbent paper and as a resist on coated and
gloss paper. To remove The Perfect Medium
from stamps, use
Cleans it™, non-toxic, all purpose stamp
cleaner. |
|
|
|
What is the difference between Perfect
Pearls™ and other pigment powders? |
No other pearl powder has a binder already mixed in.
With Perfect Pearls
there is no need to measure and mix. Just add water and
Perfect Pearls will adhere to many surfaces. Add a
little water to create a paint, more for a glaze and
even more for a fabulous calligraphy ink. Dry Perfect
Pearls adheres without the use of fixative when dusted
over
Perfect Medium. The resins in both Perfect
Pearls and Perfect Medium work together to create an
efficient bond. The binder in Perfect Pearls is so
compatible it will not effect your results when mixing
Perfect Pearls with other mediums i.e. clay, embossing
powders, UTEE, acrylic
paints, Posh
dye Inkabilities™ and more!
|
|
|
|
How can I use Perfect Pearls with Gloss
Paper? |
There are several techniques you can use with Gloss
Paper. (1) Stamp with
Perfect Medium
and dust with
Perfect Pearls
on the glossy side of the cardstock. Heat set with
Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
to set the Perfect Pearls-some powder will dust off with
a brush, but most will set. (2) Use any
Perfect
Pearls techniques on the matte side of the cardstock.

| FAQ's - Sea Shells™ Dye
Inks and Sea Brights™ Dye Inks |
| |
|
I love the colors of Sea Shell Dye Inks
and Sea Bright Dye Inks. Why can’t I find them anymore? |
The
Sea Shells and Sea Brights dye inks were melded into the
Adirondack Dye Ink
product line. Sea Shells are now Adirondack Lights and
Sea Brights are now Adirondack Brights.
These colors have always coordinated across the product
lines. Now it’s easier to recognize the coordinating
colors under one Adirondack brand. For instance, to have
a coordinated color project of yellows: use a Lemonade
“Light”, a Sunshine “Bright”, and a Butterscotch
“Earthtone” for a wonderful monochromatic look.
Some names of former Sea Shells and Sea Brights have
changed to reflect a closer relationship to the
Adirondack “mountain” brand, rather than “seashore”
names. To round out the color palette, there are five
new shades: Salmon, Mountain Rose, Lake Mist, Pebble,
and Hazelnut.

| FAQ's -
Stamp Cleaners |
| |
|
I’m confused about the different types
of rubber stamp cleaners available. Can you explain each
one and what it is used for? |
Ranger manufactures four types of stamp cleaners and
each has a specific cleaning purpose.
Water-based Cleaners are used to clean water-based dye
and pigment inks from stamps. Ranger makes two
water-based cleaners. The
Water-based Stamp Cleaner in a 4 oz. spray
bottle with a bubble gum scent is sprayed directly on a
stamp to clean off inks. It can also be sprayed on our
Rub It Scrub It pad for cleaning stamps using
the pad.
Ranger also makes
Water-based Stamp Cleaner in a 2 oz. bottle with
a dabber top to dab directly on stamps to clean off
inks. Water-based Stamp Cleaners are non-toxic.
Ranger
Cleans It All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner was
developed to clean all types of inks off of rubber stamp
surfaces: dye inks, pigment inks, and solvent based
inks. This cleaner is recommended for cleaning Ranger
Archival Ink from rubber stamps. For cleaning solvent
inks, the cleaner should be applied to the rubber stamp
for 1 minute before rubbing off. This cleaner is
acid-free and non-toxic.
Ranger
Perfect Polymer Stamp Cleaner with a dabber top
is used to clean water-based ink and water-resistant ink
from clear (photo polymer) stamps. Allow 15 seconds for
the cleaner to remove water-based ink and 60 seconds for
water-resistant ink. Acid-free and non-toxic.
Ranger
Solvent Stamp Cleaner with a dabber top is
recommended specifically for solvent-based inks such as
Ranger
Décor It ink. After using the Solvent Stamp
Cleaner, rubber stamps should be rinsed with water or a
water-based stamp cleaner to protect the rubber.
