For fine and tiny carvings, normal Artline inkpad used in the office may not be suitable because the ink can be a bit watery or runny.
Unlike normal office rubberstamps, with erasers you never now how long it will last, especially when the carvings are very fine and tiny. Rough stamping may degenerate the rubber; carvings chip and fall off, carved surface becomes uneven, etc. It may result in the rubber not picking up sufficient ink to make a good print.
So, a good way to prolong the life of your handcarved eraser stamp is to dab the ink onto your stamp rather than press your stamp onto the ink pad. Watch how to do this below:
