Here's a pretty simple solution, Tony, since I also agree that © ought to be stamped on the back of prints. I took an old almost empty light light gray Epson cartridge, and poured the remaining ink into a small storage jar. Then with an eye dropper, occasionally put a few drops on the ink pad, spreading them enough to cover the entire area of the rubber stamp area. It soaks in and will last for a bunch of prints, before needing more ink drops. Just to make sure of no future trouble, it's a good idea to make sure the rubber stamp is in the border area. Hope this helps. I've been doing this for a couple years now. Clay PriceTony Sleep wrote:......but I just don't know. I suspect there is some gum or PVA or similar added. It could be as simple as water or water+alcohol, to proprietary water based stamp inks (to get even ink take-up on the rubber) and the concentration may need to be maintained.I'm happy to experiment, but some sense of direction would be useful if anyone is less clueless than I am.....
