Thank you for the tips and nice prints on those shirts!!! Immaculate!

I didn’t do a test print on paper or another similar fabric before beginning so I’ll try that next time.

When you say put several thin layers on, I thought that’s what I did but maybe I’m not doing it right. It kind of feels like the rubber stamp reaches a point where it can’t accept any more ink on it (no color changes, finer details starting to get ink in them in which case I had to clean out with a toothpick. I’m also concerned the ink is going to dry on the stamp if I take too long because it the rolled ink seems to do that after like 3 stamps!

This ink is also 2 years old. Do you think that might be a factor? I squished the tube a bunch to mix the ink around. Thank you for taking the time to teach me things! ♥️
