It is a wide misconception that clear stamps do not produce as finely detailed images as rubber-stamps do. Our clear stamps will produce just as fine (if not more) detailed images as any rubber-stamp will. The seated to getting crisp and fine lines with clear stamps is not to use as much pressure as you would when using a stamp made from rubber. But using less pressure the fine details will not "smoosh" into thicker lines. Try it....you'll see what we mean.
