5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and consistent performance of your stamp.
5.1. Re-inking
The MaxLight XL2-535 is designed to provide thousands of impressions before re-inking is necessary. When impressions begin to appear faint or inconsistent, it is time to re-ink.
- Use only MaxLight brand re-inking fluid specifically designed for pre-inked stamps. Using incorrect ink can damage the stamp and void any potential warranty.
- Consult the re-inking fluid instructions for the exact procedure. Typically, a few drops are applied to the impression surface and allowed to absorb for several hours or overnight.
- Perform test impressions on scrap paper after re-inking until the impression is clear and consistent.
5.2. Cleaning and Storage
- Cleaning: If dust or debris accumulates on the impression surface, gently dab it with a lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the stamp in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the protective cap on (if applicable) to prevent dust accumulation and ink drying.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Faint or incomplete impression | Low ink level, uneven pressure, or debris on surface. | Re-ink the stamp (Section 5.1). Apply even pressure. Clean the impression surface (Section 5.2). |
| Blurred or smudged impression | Excessive pressure, stamp moved during impression, or incorrect paper type. | Apply lighter, even pressure. Ensure stamp is held steady. Test on different paper types. |
| Ink not drying quickly | Incorrect ink type used for re-inking (if applicable) or very glossy paper. | Ensure only MaxLight re-inking fluid is used. Use on absorbent paper surfaces. |
