STAMPENDOUS H269 Short Elf Rubber is deeply etched so the imprint surface is easy to ink. Carefully trimmed rubber and foam prevent undercuts, partial impressions and smudged backgrounds. 1/8" foam cushion insures a better impression on textured or uneven surfaces. Blonde hardwood is a quality block with a comfortable curve and weight for maximum control and grip. Clean stamps with Stampendous Rubber Stamp Cleaner & Conditioner and Rubber Scrubber
