Digital BW, The Print

Just went thru a few of the posts on thsi thread...not sure if this is applicable but they work for me.. I had 3 rubber stamps made a few years back.. all are for different intents.. to keep it simple I'll just share the one that is applicable here I think..  It has a line at the top that I can right the image title and serial number on  / below that the artist and Copyright info. etc...I use stamp pad inks that are from Colorbox.. They have about 60 colors...all are pigment inks and acid free..  I have several colors but the ones that are applicable here are Wild Hare and Silver... ( both read a medium gray  the silver being a tad darker..  They do not work well at all on canvas unless you really lean on them but their great for any type paper print..

  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.....
